Folding Guitar Stand

If needed, join boards edge-to-edge to reach a 9-1/2in wide blank, then true up one edge on a table saw.

Trace and cut the curved stand profile onto each blank with a jigsaw.

Drill a hole sized to the 3/4in dowel rod through both stand halves at the fold point, so they can pivot on the dowel.

Cut and drill the small latch piece that holds the stand open, and attach it to one half with a screw so it pivots freely.

Sand progressively from 150 to 220 grit, apply felt strip tape to every point that will contact the guitar, and finish.
