Finished this Amp Builder's/Tech Chassis Stand this week…Red Oak.

The next one will have a waterproof tray for a sponge, a breadboard, and a power outlet with on/off switch built in. I'll also try to get the arms to pivot 360 degrees and clamp to the chassis at some point.

Changed the direction of the grain on the guitar stands, thinking it looks better running horizontal…finished these two up recently. Used up some reclaimed Wormy Chestnut rafters off an over-a-century old roof structure in North Carolina.

Something similar in basswood next.

This is the latest solid sassafras Atlas Studio Amp Stand I built from a few weeks ago. I've been covered up lately and just now getting around to sharing. Its the same wood as the 1968 Ampeg that's sitting on it, just not been popped black, sanded back down and then stained English Chestnut. Originally I was going to keep it for myself and my Ampeg. It's gone to CA now.

Went with Walnut sides and a Butternut center piece here, kept the stock on this one as thick as possible. Somewhat rustic as well with some of the wane wood and wormholes.

Finally finished this solid Black Walnut Low Rider amp stand for a Mesa Boogie Mark V Combo after 11 weeks on the workbench. It took a while but was a true pleasure to build.

I like the tube tray!

You could probably make one, they aren't complicated, just time consuming.

I can see the work you put into them - finished inside and out, smooth surfaces, radiused corners everywhere. You really make a quality product.

My latest completion, a Walnut Amp Chassis Stand - the adjustable brackets attach directly to an amp chassis and rotate 360 degrees.
