Musican Cd Rack

A friend of mine got married today. To present him something personal we (my brother and I) created a CD rack out of a pair of drumsticks and the head of a violin. As basis we've used a raw guitar neck.

The Base

At first, we've created the base, therefore a blank of a guitar neck was used. The V-shape was hard to produce but I have enough clamps to fix everything in place.

The Notches Part One

The next step was to mill in the notches into the drum sticks. Therefore, we taped and screwed the sticks together. Due to the lack of a mill, we've used my table saw.

The Notches Part Two

The notches for the violin neck were much harder to create, due to the fact, that the piece was curved. We have bungled a bridge. To fix everything as good as possible we used several zip-ties.

We screwed everything... together. As on top we've used a old vinyl.

I hope that this rack not only represent the hobbies of the bridal pair moreover I hope that the two like it
