thegarehanman Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Hey guys. It's been a long time since I've been on here. I won GOTM once or twice and submitted a few tutorials to the site years back when I was involved. I had to get out of building when my house got robbed and all of my instruments got stolen. I sold the house to move into a safer apartment while finishing school. Anyhow, I've had the itch to get back into design (related to guitars at least) recently. I'm trying to launch a new project on kickstarter.com here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1488481841/the-closet-guitar-hanger It's a new way to hang your guitar: in the closet. Please check it out. If you like it, share it with friends. If the project reaches its goal, these will go into production, which would be pretty epic! Anyhow, thanks for reading and keep building! ~russ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegarehanman Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Thanks mike! I'm hoping to get a house where I can have a new shop in the next year or so. In the mean time, I'm warming myself up with some projects to fund a few builds. If this project succeeds, you may see some hardware projects next! ~russ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 If I did hard enough I can still probably find the CADs of the trem system you sent me designs for awhile back with the dual rotation points Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostheta Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Good seeing you back on the rails, Russ. A very cool project and I will certainly donate. My only design concern is stopping guitars knocking into each other on the rack....obviously popping a hung coat or whatever between is the obvious solution. Perhaps a pair of padded spool clamps either side of where rear strap buttons sit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juntunen Guitars Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Cool idea. I'll donate when I get some money I can spare. Out of curiosity what kind of car parts do you make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Good seeing you back on the rails, Russ. A very cool project and I will certainly donate. My only design concern is stopping guitars knocking into each other on the rack....obviously popping a hung coat or whatever between is the obvious solution. Perhaps a pair of padded spool clamps either side of where rear strap buttons sit? I've hung up 3 guitars in a row with about 1" between each and there was no serious concern of them touching as they were removed. The clothing between instruments is a fantastic idea though, very simple and the clothes are there already! Cool idea. I'll donate when I get some money I can spare. Out of curiosity what kind of car parts do you make? Thanks, it's appears that the kickstarter site won't feature projects until they've gotten a decent following on their own. I'm hoping I can get a buzz going in the next few days so that kickstarter will give it a bit more publicity. It's only got 27 days left and if the target isn't reached, they won't be produced. So if you really want one (or more!), you'll want to be sure to get in within that time frame. Regarding the car parts, I design high-end performance parts for hondas, acuras, bmw's, and porsches. Check out hybridracing.com and fastguys.com to see some of my work. ~russ Edited May 6, 2012 by thegarehanman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiKro Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 So what % of profits would you pay if I funded this completely, including cost of Patent? PM me Russ. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegarehanman Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hey guys. Great news, I decided to reevaluate this kickstarter project and try it again from a different angle. The project got fully funded in only 3 days and it will stay up for another 27 days. If you're interested in checking it out or were thinking about picking one of these up, you can check it out here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1488481841/the-new-closet-guitar-hanger I'm pretty excited about this. I thought it would do better this time around, but I didn't expect quite this result! Thanks for looking. ~russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hey guys. If any of you were itnerested in these but weren't familiar with kickstarter, the project was successfully funded a few weeks back and since then all orders have been filled. I still have a ton of inventory and put up a new site to sell them through. Check out closetguitarhanger.com if you want to pick one up. ~russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob123 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 You need to advertise on sevenstring.org too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
