Built a wall hanger!

thejumpingflea · Sep 12, 2008

So today I had a little project... and it was a success! Just thought I'd show you!

Too bad the tuning pegs on my Kamaka Concert and Baritone Amigo are friction. I need to buy larger hangers so they can rest without the backs smashing into the wall.

Yep. Home Depot it was. 67 cents a piece.

(Dang, my camera really shows off the spots that need a touch up of paint...)

Nice selection!

Is that a Tangi uke? If it is how does it sound?

Nice job. Just be careful, you might want to wrap them in something to make them soft on the wood. Even if you're very very careful, you will still get little indents. I just noticed the other day that the underside of the head on my other uke has ding marks all along the edge from where I used to lean it up beside my computer desk, and I was very careful.

Oh and where did you get your eleuke from? It looks like a tenor?

MGM. Sure is a Tenor. Got it last March. Love it!

It's a G-String. It sounds punchy, loud and yet still has that koa warm sound.

I've been really wanting to get an eleuke. I can't find them though, hoping MGM gets some again.

I like see other home projects

Yeah, my fiance wouldn't let me hang his Gibson les paul and his Fender Strat on anything. I had to spend the extra bucks on String Swing wall hangers. They have quite a bit of space between the instrument and the wall and they carry guitar and ukulele hangers but they will cost you around $15 a piece.

I went a little crazy with the jig saw on mine. I'm not sure what to do for my next one. Maybe music notes....
