Foot Stools That Fit A Taylor Hard Case
« on: December 07, 2018, 12:45:15 PM »
Here's a fun, and at the same time, a pain in the butt project.
I wanted a foot stool that would fit in the small storage space in my Taylor guitar hard case.
I saw a very similar design on the internet and put my own flare as you might say, mix of woods, and ended up with these.
If I was to do it again the tops would be banded only on one end as the hinge screws split one band.
They measure 1" x 3 9/16" x 7 5/16" when closed flat and are finished with conversion varnish.
Some of the woods are Sapele, Ovangkol, Macacauba, Canary Wood, Figured Maple, Walnut, & Katalox a Mexican wood that looks like ebony.
Some are for me and some will be gifts to friends, hope they enjoy them. :D Danny

Those are beautiful! Would you ever consider selling one?  :)
I fingerpick, and have found I like having my right foot on a foot rest to raise it slightly. I currently use an adjustable one that I got from Amazon. I use that for going to a friend's house to play, but it would be cool to have a nice one for my music room. Just asking.

Very nice (from a fellow woodworker)!
Taylors:  424-LTD (all koa) and a 114ce that lives with friends in Alaska.  Low maintenance carbon fiber guitars are my "thing" these days, but I will always keep the koa 424.  Several ukulele and bass guitars too. 
*Gone but not forgotten:  a 2001 414ce, 410, 354-LTD twelve string, 314-N, 416-LTD baritone, T5 Classic, 615ce, 2006 GS-K, 1996 (first year) Baby

Gorgeous!!! Hard to pick a favorite. But if I had to , I'd say middle, top row. Nice work. I wish I had those skills

Thanks Guitar Cowboy, you have a good eye, one of my favorites too, it's Walnut with a little spalt on the edge, hard to find.
We all have our skills, you more than likely are a much better gutarist than I'll ever be. Started guitar after retirement, should have started decades ago.
