Building a Keyboard Stand // Woodworking // DIY Project

[@TheEveryMaker]

That came out really nice, I actually like the reveal of the keyboard. Extra bonus points for Harry Potter.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much nick! I like it as well! Glad I decided to change up the design! All things Harry Potter in my house.... ha!

[@TheEveryMaker]

3x3Custom - Tamar Oh, and I love the brass accents! Walnut and brass are so amazing together.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

The Every Maker - Nick wish everything in my house could be walnut and brass. Ha!

I love the hand tools you use to carve to walnut wood as all of your tools beautiful work as always you never disappoint

Glad you think so!

[@blughsr]

What brand of double sided tape do you use. Thanks..

[@3x3CustomTamar]

I believe it’s called spec tape

[@dstarr3]

Man, check out those skills. You've come a long way in a short time.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

I’ve been practicing 😉

[@Thebriansnyder]

Excelent build. I've been thinking about building something like this for my digital piano. This is the best build I've seen. Great job.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! Good luck with yours!

[@DIYMontreal]

So many cool tools that I want now! Great build Tamar.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks Marie! And thanks for the awesome taper jig video!!

[@DIYMontreal]

Aw thanks!

[@diyhuntress]

You stressing out killed me. You're so cute when you're stressed. Ahahah. Love you, girlfriend. Awesome build, as always!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks Sam! Glue ups are so stressful!! Right before that, I couldn’t find where I left the leg to be glued and I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off!! 😂😂😂

[@Thom4123]

Awesome job you really have bumped up your work and it shows. This piece came out so great the curl in the walnut sides are beautiful and I really like the tops position it gives a look of a piano. Keep up the awesome work. Take Care.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! That curl was such a nice surprise when it came out of the planer

[@normanbott]

Really elegant design and proportions, with beautiful grain on that walnut. Just couldn't resist that 'signature' bit of brass, could you ;-) I don't have a dowel jig any more , so I got some drill bush inserts in a couple of sizes to make up my own guides / jigs. These inserts have serrated outsides and are a press-fit into standard holes. In my case 15 mm outside for an 8 mm dowel , using MDF for the jig construction. So no marking out for lots of dowels or custom patterns ! I'm in the UK and I'm sure you could get these in the US if your interested.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Sounds cool. Thanks so much!

[@joq702]

You are really good at this wood-working thing! Incredibly accurate and determined to do it right, whether machined or manual. You'd survive in the 1700s with crude tools and still be making great pieces.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

☺️☺️

[@misinformationwithrandy]

This is great! I need to setup a home for my keyboard in my office 'recording studio'. This is inspiration!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome! Would love to see what you come up with!

[@KSFWG]

What a great piece of beautiful furniture! Excellent job, Tamar! Are you going to build a bench seat for it?

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! It’s on the list. But far down it. Ha.

[@alexmosley8600]

Wow my wife would love this for her keyboard, thank for the inspiration.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome! Would love to see what you come up with!

[@timucingorkem]

Splendid! I guess it would be even better if brass metal was put on the wooden leg and body. Best regards.

[@paulhasser625]

Beautiful keyboard console! You show so much creativity in your projects. Thanks for sharing your process. You are an artist!!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! ☺️☺️

[@dbury8699]

Totally awesome. Your family must be very proud of you:)

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thank you! They are ☺️

[@mcswordfish]

Something like this (along with a proper piano stool) is on my build-list for this year. The x-shaped stand my daughter's piano sits on is a complete pain - the keyboard isn't held securely and wobbles around, and you can't tuck a chair underneath it properly when not in use which eats into the floorspace of what is quite a small and busy room. I had planned to just use plywood, but this might tempt me to splurge a bit more and get something a bit nicer.

[@AB-nu5we]

Hand tools! Make great furniture, like your piece, possible. Gorgeous project. I flatten most of my boards by hand, then use the DW 735 to create that parallel surface on the other side like you did. Curved blade on the jack or fore plane helps, makes it quick(er). Heard a little 'Smokestack Lightening, Howl'n Wolf, 1964' in that piano solo at the end. A little more practice....

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! Hahaha! Yes. Getting a 9 year old to practice is not an easy job.... one day!

[@scotttovey]

That gives the Keyboard more of a piano/organ look. Great job on the design Tamar.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much Scott! It really looks like a piano. I’m so happy with the result.

[@christinecahill2874]

Tamara, you totally rock. Lol you definitely got my respect when you used tape as a band aid. One cool chick. With skills too boot. Keep it coming kiddo. Big fan!!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Hahaha! Who has time to run inside and get a real bandaid?! Thanks so much!

[@12MIL29]

So I made one myself using the plans from your website. I came out really nice. The only thing I would caution future builders about is the with of the stand. Make sure that u leave about 2 in on each side of your keyboard. Since keyboard differ in size each stand should be unique. I didnt take that into account and was not able to put the slow close lod stay because of spacing issues. Other than that it was an awsome build thank you so much !!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Yes!! So glad you made it! Yeah, measuring your own keyboard is key! I’d love to see a pic if you have a chance

[@holdemNE1]

Excellent video and build. Enjoyed watching even though it is something I won't ever build.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! Haha! Glad you still enjoyed it!

[@loganrobinson363]

Apsolutely beautiful and the furniture isn't bad either. 😍😚😚😚

[@Luu-luu]

Wow! Sooo beautiful. What's the model of your digital piano? I have a Yamaha P115 and the stand you can buy is horrible. Just 3 pieces of wood. This looks so aesthetic.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! Forgot the model number but I linked in the description

[@j.davidslaugh5761]

Thank You so much for this. I have a custom keyboard stand to make and I am going to use quite a bit from your design. I really love your stuff as you are straight forward without using sex appeal to get your subscribers. Thank You again. GOOD STUFF

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Have fun with it. Glad it was helpful!

[@grumpyoldchuff]

Beautiful piece of furniture, great idea, thanks for sharing

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so Much! And thanks for watching! I’m so happy with how it turned out

[@Goose8219]

Wow looks great looks classical in my eyes. Just nice smooth work. You are right a lot of walnut work I do I add brass and it pops out. Great work Tamar. Also awesome with the Lil Cheekie-D playing Harry Potter theme. I’m 36 and a huge fan of HARRY POTTER!!!!!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! It’s a perfect combo. And we love Harry Potter over here

[@ranadems]

Wow! Wonderful Idea, Nice Tools collection, Great use of tools, and raw materials, equally great workmanship. And a lovely finished product as a result. Satisfying!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! So glad you liked it!

[@tinkerer4]

Excellent build, as always. There's definitely nothing wrong with an X-acto knife, but an awesome project would be making your own marking knife!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! That’s def something i have in my list!

[@victortechnologiesmexico1144]

Great Job! Congrats. When the video finished I was exhaust I just bougth a digital piano and I ‘ll try to do something as good as yours. I’ll keep dreaming

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Ha thanks!

[@ILoveMyDog761]

Any reason why you didn't use solid wood for the back with a groove for the plywood and more dowels? I'm just curious if there is some wood expansion issue I'm missing. Nice build!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Just because it will never be seen. No need to waste costly hard wood.

[@crenshawshank]

Excellent video and cool build. Just bought my girlfriend a nice keyboard for Christmas, and she's hoping to do something like this with it. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome. Good luck!

Holy cow, excellent work! Thank u so much for posting this.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

[@IIImobiusIII]

Nice work. When I first saw this I thought, OMG, did she make a spinet? I guess not many spinets being made these days. Roland made a beautiful Harpsichord/Spinet some years back.

[@styyr8542]

Beautiful build! I looked at the keyboard stand plans but I could not figure out the thickness of the sides and also the thickness of the board for the legs.

[@marialiyubman]

When you work around musical instruments it’s just a whole new level. 😍

[@3x3CustomTamar]

☺️☺️

[@alexven92]

Looks awesome but I couldn't help but notice on the front panel that there are these vertical lines showing on the wood. Are these saw marks or natural markings of the wood?

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! That’s natural and was a nice surprise after I cleaned up the wood! Sometimes it’s called curl. So this is some curly walnut.

[@alexven92]

3x3Custom - Tamar I see ! that's cool

[@MrGotem-gw2pv]

You did an amazing job! Where did you get the wood? I want to make one just like it with metal legs that I have so it’s like a Fender Rhodes

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! From my local hardwood dealer

[@andresilva8444]

Nice. I would make a fifth leg to connect to the pedal and hide the wires. Good job. Are you doing the guitar build off again this year?

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Sounds like a good idea! Not sure...

[@RosaStringWorks]

Nice job.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thank you!

[@Lynas203]

This is amazing job. Thanks for sharing to us.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Awesome Build Tamar! It's a great addition to your home!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! I think this is the nicest piece of furniture we have now! Ha!

[@DIYHGP]

Tamar, it was a great project I really enjoyed the production. you should consider getting a dowel wizard for easy Dowel joinery. I made a review video on my channel you can check it out.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! I’ll check it out!

[@mwa1252]

That came out really nice-Excellant job!. I am going to make one just like it. Just a thought... If the pocket holes bother you, next time (if there is a next time) maybe install the pocket hole screws on the inside where they won't show. Also, there are wood plugs made to fit the pocket holes that can be glued in place to help disguise the holes. Another option would be to use small decorative corner bracing on the inside. So I am off to build mine exactly like yours only using cherry lumber. Thanks again for sharing!

[@franciscofragoeiro5229]

I have a recommendation. Since the keys aren't covered, you really should get a felt cover for them, otherwise dust will start to build up inside the keys and that's a pain to clean. It looks great!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! That’s a good addition.

[@michaelpangilinan_]

awesome piece, build and video! I love how your kiddo is playing Harry Potter! My son is learning piano and I think something similar your build would be perfect in my home!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

We’re big Harry Potter fans over here! Thanks so much! Would love to see your build when it’s complete!

[@DIYHGP]

Tamar, you could have used dowels to attach the top instead of figure 8 fasteners. The wood movement is in the width of the board not the length. An easy way to remember, trees like people grow to certain height when mature, but they may always grow wider.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Right. Since the movement is in the width the top will expand but the bottom aprons will not. Those will expand vertically based on how I put them. I think the fasteners were a good choice here.

[@Phil-cl5dl]

Awesome job. You are getting more talented with each project...well done

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much Phil! You know what they say about practice.... ha!

[@finaljesus]

You really have some mad woodworking skills excellent job on that keyboard bench

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much!

[@clintoncraft4161]

You could always get a long piece of felt in your choice of color to cover the keys when not in use to keep dust off/out of the keys.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

True! Havnt had any issues with it yet though. Except my kids coloring on the keys. But they color on everything. EVERYTHING! Ha

[@pmadsea077]

I’m a keyboard player and a woodworker and I think you did an excellent job 😎

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks!’

[@scootersworkbench6347]

That looks great! Thanks for inspiring me to look at my keyboard now and make something nice to hold it.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome. Would love to see what you come up with!

[@reforzar]

This looks killer! Elegant work Tamar. To install the top of anything I usually lay the piece down so the top is on a flat surface and prop it up or the piece up accordingly.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks Brian! Gotta work on that kinda stuff. Ha

[@makyaule589]

I finally did it myself. Thank you very much for this design idea!!!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome!!

[@barretthageman3350]

Wow, very nice. I too am not that good with the hand tools, but when I use them (and it works) it feels very satisfying.

Fantastic project, beautiful result. i agree keeping the curved edge, makes it much nicer. the ones i have seen that are boxes on lgs look like coffins,to me. your build is really elegant
