Got the binding all scraped off on this one. No catastrophes, just a lap full of fine plastic shavings. You can see my homemade scraper. A bit of final touch-up to the stain, and this will be ready for a proper oil-based finish.
This one went through a long and torturous build process over almost two years. All I can say is don't believe the "advice" you find on talk_ass. However, in the end, it turned out to be a pretty nice instrument.

The smaller single-tier guitar racks (above) were a modification of a standard sort of stackable little bookshelf that I have built quite a few of. The larger two-tier racks (below) were based on a similar sort of construction. Unfortunately, I never saved any plans for these things, in fact I never had more than rough sketches to start with, and improvised the rest. Once I worked-out all the dimensions and details for the first one, I just copied it. These racks are now a decade old, and have stood up to humid summers and dry winters perfectly. Nothing has pulled-apart or cracked.
