Anyone out there have any simple, homegrown storage ideas?  I have four cbgs hanging on my office wall, one above a doorway in the "craft room" a uke on a table, and two more stuffed in corners where hopefully when the dogs are roughousing, they will not get snapped.  I have given a bunch away, but the cbgs around here just keep multiplying.

You honestly think FOUR is a problem???
Report back to me in two and a half years eh?

You could build cases for all your cbgs.. (boxes for your boxes.) But if you mean to display them... for horizontal hanging on a wall, a couple of long, L-shaped screws works well. I have some of mine displayed that way at some retail places. It looks nice, and you can barely see the screws. For vertical hanging, I put together these wood-backed dealies, made with rake hooks/tool hangers. They work great if your head stocks have wings.

you're asking  me  ?    i tripped  over    54   and bumped  my  head    on  6    trying to  get the  the computer  .   ;-)

Put the dogs outside.

Break the table up for neck wood.

Doorway? That means walls. Get rid of all the walls.

Get Longest wood shelf that will fit in car/ truck use rake / shovel hooks like suspect device used then screw the whole thing to a wall( in the studs). This way you only put 4 holes in wall not 2 per hook x how many guitars you have. And I 2nd what The Phrygian Kid said.

The thought process for me is to not have the house look like the local music store keep having offspring with the local cigar store.  I also do some furniture making and a good deal of woodcarving.  I'm getting overrun with completed projects.  I figured if I bought a small house with a small yard, that I wouldn't fill it with crap that I bought.  Well, now I'm filling it with crap that I make.  

Easy-peasy. If you make furniture, carve, and build CBGs, then you have all the skills and tools to build a separate man cave. You weren't really gonna mow that back yard, were ya?
