Solution to mando case clutter...

[Larry S Sherman]

I've been trying to find a way to organize my instrument cases, and a couple of weeks ago I found a homemade table at a yard sale that seemed like a good start.

It was a table with a platform at the bottom, but the legs were too short to fit the cases under it, and if I leaned them they wanted to slip out.

So I made up some new taller legs, added a lip in the front to prevent slipping, and a brace in the back for stability and to give the necks something to lean on.

Now I have a cool table that has a work area on top, a place for my mando stand off the floor, and an easy way to store the cases in easy reach.

This is the front lip/bumper rail to keep the mando cases from slipping forward:

Here's the top workspace:

And the last shows it being used, with my music junk spread out. It's a great height for my stool, and it goes well with the height of my music stand too.

I thought that this might be a fun project for others to try.

If you have a cool wood working mando solution please feel free to add it.
