Making a Black Walnut Holder for Guitar Nut Slotting Files | Free .stl file available
I've been working at my guitar setup bench a bit more lately and I realized that its in need of some organization. I'm starting with my nut slotting files. I have this set from StewMac that I really like, but there are quite a few different sizes and it can be tough to keep them neat and tidy. I decided to make a holder for them using some black walnut and some 3D Printed inserts. The holder keeps the files nice and neat, and its easy to see the different sizes. This works and looks so much better. I'm glad I took some time to make this.

A little table salt on your glue joints stops that sliding. Awesome video Jeff.
I forgot about the salt. Lol. I've used that before. Thanks for the reminder.
@@homebuiltshop lol
Great looking project Jeff!
Looks great Jeff.
Thanks Paul. It sure looks nicer on the bench.
Excellent idea! Why didn't I think of that!! I will be making this one! Thanks! I think I'll do just 6 holes for the files I use the most and have storage in the back to hold the others. I think I'm going to label them E6, A5, D4, G3, B2, E1. Thanks again for this great idea!
You're welcome. I like the idea of labeling them with the string names. Have fun playing around with them. Let me know if there's something you think I should change up.
Looks good and is functional so it's a win win as far as I am concerned.
I had the same problem trying to open a jar of olives.
Those darn jars will get us every time. Lol.
Nice video Jeff. I'm in need of a hand plane rack for a #6, #5, #4, and a block plane. Did you ever do a video to build your hand plane storage rack?
I never made a video on mine. Its really just a piece of scrap mdf with some strips glued on to keep everything in place. There's a couple angled feet glued onto the back to allow it to lean. I should really make a new nicer one. I'd like to find at least a Stanley #7 first, maybe an 8 too.
@homebuiltshop thanks! I found a Bailey #5 Type 11 (100+ years old) I almost have restored, and I restored a nice #4 plane last year. I'm still looking for a nice #6 for a shooting board!
Great idea. And is it overkill, as you asked, possibly. But hey, you want a nice work area for you guitar setup bench. Why not have and enjoyable area to be?
That's exactly my thought. Overkill or not, I think it looks cool and does what I need it to do.
What were your printer settings on the inserts? I thought an hour was long so I looked at the file. I got 30 min for the Large one with a wall line count of 3 and 15% infill. With 100% infill it was only 42 min. Are you using one of the newer Cura version 5.x.x? Oh and my print speed is set the 70 mm/s. I didn't try printing one though. But those setting are my standard setting for most of my parts.
Interesting, I just loaded the larger one again into Cura. Wall count 2, Infill was set to 50. I usually use 20%. I bet that was why. I think I forgot to change it from a previous print. Print speed is 50mm/s. Changed infill to 20 and it says 42 minutes.
Thanks for making me check that out. Lol.
Jeff 1 jar zero 👍👍👍
That dang jar almost got me there. Lol.
