Mike, I really like you case and see a lot of potential of this working for me. I have looked at some arrow cases on Ebay, they are simuliar but not exactly like yours. Could you tell me who the Mfg. of your case is?
Thanks,
I like that arrow case idea.
That wine box case is way cool!
Great looking cases I was looking for ideas for a case and stumbled upon you guys. I'm not much of a wood worker may go with a cardboard to start. I need one pretty quick for a trip I'm taking. Just something to provide some protection.
I did a cardboard one that was 2 pieces thick. I used spray Loctite. Worked good, and was easy to build.
Thanks! I'm thinking I could make it look like an old time cheap suitcase, maybe glue on a lot of old travel stamps. I found copies of stamps online. Just google travel stamps.
I would love to see how it looks when done.
Thanks, plan to go to a couple of music stores and see if they have a guitar shipping box.
I'm super cheap and tend to go cardboard as well-but my local music store often saves a few of the smaller shipping boxes for me, and since they already have the perfect guitar shape built in it's child's play to make a few cuts and shrink them to my 19" to 25" necks and smaller soundboxes.
One thing I would recommend-if you have a well-ventilated room, I suggest you paint the finished cardboard box with a brush and a thin layer of automotive epoxy, surfboard epoxy or marine spar epoxy-the solution will sink into the cardboard, strengthen it and weatherproof it. Adding a few cardboard 'ribs' to the interior before applying the epoxy will make a stong, light weatherproof case, and any padding can still be applied with 3M spray adhesive or hot glue...also, the outer surface is properly sealed for painting.
