DIY Guitar Wall Mount From Wood Scraps!

I shared with you how I made my husband this shirt from VistaPrint that says: Thomas Town Woodworking as a nod of encouragement to his dream of becoming a craftsman fulltime one day.

Make a custom shirt for $6 through July 14
 

 

Well, he is also a songwriter with a few guitars. Instead of buying a guitar wall mount from Amazon for less than $10, I challenged him to make his own. Boy, did he rise to the challenge. He found some wood scraps and a piece of plywood to make this doodad.

 

Next thing I know the guitar was off the floor and hanging pretty on the wall.

 
 

Next project, table made of reclaimed walnut. That's going to be a beauty!

 



Thanks for letting me share Tony's cool DIY Project. Check out other great creative minds from linky partys Skip to My Lou, Shabby Nest and Somewhat Simple.

Woodworking Projects: Hand Made Chair

For the Clutter-Busting Challenge, I shared that my husband changed our old Jeep alternator and car battery. But not only is he a budding mechanic (at least for Jeeps!), he is also becoming quite a carpenter.

 

My hubby made this chair for me! Using only 1x4 and 2x4 wood pieces, he followed a pattern from a the 2x4 Projects for Outdoor Living. I think he made a few adjustments, like using a pocket-hole Kreg jig to make it sturdier but pretty much made it like the book suggested.

 

This is a great book for outdoor projects. I found it a while ago at a used bookstore. I do love me some Ana White patterns as well and have prepared a honey-do list of woodworking projects for him this summer. He also made the $10 Book Ledge by Ana White using her pattern. I'll post a picture of that next time!
