If it doesnā€™t quite line up, wood glue and a bit of spare wood spits are your friend. ---

It is quite complicated to place a simple wood piece as fence so the cut is where you want it. May I suggest you make something like this : [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/c/c2692ff274c6ce58a4bebfe82d1a9d7690cffbac.jpeg "How to Make a Circular Saw Guide / Track Saw Guide") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d81qIn-oT2o) That works also for a jigsaw, and the bottom big piece of wood can simply be hardboard or thin plywood you have lying around. Yes this needs TWO wood pieces, but it is worth it ! ---

That is awesome! saves figuring out how much to offset the fence, just line it up n rip. Very nice =P For this time im just going to use some callipers and a square, but i guess that will be my next wood work project =) Thanks for the vid ---

Just be sure to put the fence over the ā€œkeepā€ side and the waste side should be visible. Or else youā€™ll be off by the width of your blade. ---

Well it was a shaky start but I got there. The first cuts I gave myself some extra room for error. Glad I did because the clamps wernt tight enough lol. Still got all my fingers, and stayed outside the lines I needed to. Just got a bit more to cut tomorrow. And on to sanding to the line, may be even get onto the glue up. ![IMG_20201215_212158](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/1/110aa454eb8b2f027f697a05dad4589344bc89c7.jpeg) ---

Ok, so I got new blades for the jigsaw I borrowed and had much more square cuts. I still dont like the saw tho lol I got the cheeks cut out and gave it a quick fit to see how its gonna lookā€¦ ![IMG_20201222_165058](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/8/8808967effd0f0d14434e2578415d5e13bebb50b.jpeg) Its starting to look like a thing! Although I am tempted to make a new one with the new blades and do it better/neater. Ill see how much I can save this one first. Im just not sure how much sawdust and glue I can add before its no longer a woodwork project and it turns to craft/moulding XD Abit of sanding off the edges and trying to resquare it all should help. ---

If you cut notches in the top you have a groovy guitar rack for when you need to start over at twice the size. Great stuff. ---

Ive got some wall hangers for my guitars, im just not confident enough to randomly drill into the wall XD. knowing me ill hit a gas line. on the plus side all my riffs will be fire =P Thanks for the kind words. ---

Make sure you use wood glue with the screws for extra strength. ---

Will do, at this rate its going to be at least 10 percent glue =P ---

Considering how much glue is in plywood, it might be a higher percentage than that! ---

True. My very first wall hanger blew all the Electrics in my home. After that I used a metal detector app on my phone. 18 hangers later and I only had to re do two more electrical cables. šŸ™‚ ---

My dad used to do pretty well just knocking on the wall and listening, but thatā€™s been literally hit and miss for me. My favorite stud finder is one like this: > **[CH Hanson 03040 Magnetic Stud Finder - Stud Finders And Scanning Tools -...](https://www.amazon.com/CH-Hanson-03040-Magnetic-Finder/dp/B000IKK0OI)** > > CH Hanson 03040 Magnetic Stud Finder - Stud Finders And Scanning Tools - Amazon.com Essentially itā€™s just a very strong magnet in a housing. When itā€™s on top of a nail, you know it. ---

I see that the jigsaw tore away at the edges of your wood a little, using some masking tape and a finer toothed blade can help prevent that. However this advice is too little too late. If youā€™re wondering how you can make that look better, might I suggest seeing if you can borrow a router and a bit to round off the edges. Will give a nice uniform curved edge effect and conceal any sins! ---

Right then, So yesterday i got some more sheet wood to try again at this case building with the new jigsaw i got for xmas. everything is square! or at least much much more square than my last attempt haha! Ive filmed it but i dont know when ill get a video sorted out from it. just another thing i can slowly work on and not go insane over lockdown =D eventually ill make a little playlist of Case, PSU then onto modules. Yesterday i sketched it out. Today i chopped it up and hopefully tomorrow ill get my rails cut to size and start drilling pilot holes. test fitā€¦ and possibly glue up? i still got some tear out, but its not too bad, i just want to make some bleeping bloops already! XD Im going to paint it eventually anyways. ![IMG_20210124_185338](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/e/e710dc01c1baa4adce65b9a3abad6c26b8111cc7.jpeg) ---

Looking great! Iā€™m thinking about adding a second angled case to complement the one I currently have. Still have a long way to go before I start building, but its never to early to plan! ---

Consider putting a couple of wood strips across the back, nailed or screwed at top and bottom of each. Itā€™ll make things a lot more sturdy. ![IMG_6464](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/a/a337879856f7ecf5a5adbfea86139aaa1da2f038.jpeg) ---

I had started doing digital planning in blender when i started making panel designs months ago. but that was a modest 4 u at 50cmā€¦ Now its a bit more beefy and somewhat taller haha! Im thinking i might use that other case as a guitar stand as suggested by Farabide =) gonna cut some notches in and add dowels at the bottom to keep the guitars stable. ---

Ohh thats a nice looking job! hmm imagine adding cleats to the back and being able to store them on the wall! I have an idea for the back, im going to add a rim of the other bar i bought (it was too chunky to use as rails) and add a flat square on the backā€¦ then my plan isā€¦ something with LEDsā€¦ ill probably need to add a couple for buss boards any way thinking about it.
