joshatatlasstands Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Thanks Hydra26, I've been toying with a new design this week. I'm putting a spin on the "Featherweight" amp stand and calling it the "Prism" amp stand. It's so lightweight it's friggin crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshatatlasstands Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 ok I finished it last night: Here is the latest of the featherweight category Atlas Stands…I'm calling it the "Prism" Atlas Amp Stand. It is Walnut and Cherry with a Danish Oil finish. Total weight is 6 pounds. It was an enjoyable build. I think if I used a lighter weight wood than cherry I could get it down to 5 pounds.

joshatatlasstands Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Next up...a butternut low rider with spider web graphics. The Spined Micrathena will be the artist:) It should be pretty cool! This will be the third time we've asked the spiders to help:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be the third time we've asked the spiders to help:) I remember the spiders web, it's up there ↑ somewhere, several pages back. Weirdly, I stumbled on to a thread by the owner somewhere else a while ago. Strange! Look forward to seeing another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshatatlasstands Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi Farns, hope you've been doing well. This new spider design is sick! I'll have images for you soon. The last clear coat is drying overnight here and then the hardware has to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshatatlasstands Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Just finished building this Atlas Low Rider Amp Stand…It's made of solid Butternut timber that we felled two years ago in the field out back…it weighs next to nothing, it has a built in Table Top, and we harvested real spider webs from the woods out back for the graphics…I love the real spider web graphics. This is the third spider stand we've built. It's for a Carol Ann. Next up...a Red Oak Low Rider with Table Top, along with a Walnut Studio with a telescopic backrest.

Cool, how do you get the spider web transfered to the wood? Looks great! Might be nice on a guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshatatlasstands Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hi farnsbarns, I may do it! Hope things in England are going well, lots of tourists this week I bet. @ daveinspain - here's the technique: yes, it would be amazing on a guitar, that was the original intent before I started making amp stands, just never got around to it. 1 - remove the spider from the web making sure not to harm it. Sometimes they are finicky and will shake their webs to try to intimidate you. A stick works well to get the spider moved, just don't break the web or hurt the spider. 2 - Spray (soak) the web from both sides with spray paint. 3 - Immediately drape the already sanded wood through the web until it adheres to the wood, DO NOT BREAK OR RIP THE WEB FROM ITS ANCHOR POINTS YET! 4 - spray the web and the wood with poly, you will see the web sorta flatten to the wood due to a capillary effect. 5 - carefully with your free hand pull (snap) the web off where it is still attached to the building, branch, tree whatever. 6 - wrap the ends of the web around your piece of wood as desired. 7 - check yourself for ticks...and spiders:) 8 - apply several clear coats 9 - sand lightly with 320 gt 10 - apply final clear coat Ta-Da!

joshatatlasstands Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 This is the first Studio Atlas Stand to have a rack space. It is removable as well. This one kicked my ***. Here is the build thread: http://www.atlas-stands.com/index.php/forum/9-atlas-stand-build-threads/742-mather-amp-cabinet-studio-amp-stand-walnut-w-ultimate-attenuator-tray-under-the-seat Now onto the next one, a 30.25 degree tilt Walnut Studio Angle Table Top to fit a Walnut Alessandro Italian guitar rig:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest farnsbarns Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Christ Josh, they just keep getting better! I like the extending top, is that suitable for a half stack? I'm sellung my half stack, just interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sellung my half stack, just interested. Thanks farns, I'm trying to keep the evolution going with each build Yes, the telescopic backrest would work with most half stacks, really just depends on the plug placement. I build around the gear, not the other way around, so if the plug is in a weird spot it is simply a great opportunity to build a stand to hold a cab with a speaker plug in a weird spot:) I take a look at the specific gear and build the stand to fit it. It keeps it fresh too, nothing cookie cutter. I have some good ideas on the table right now, looking forward to a "Prism" guitar stand to match a "prism" low rider in a week or so. There is a Red Oak Low rider rolling out in the next bit as well, it's gorgeous, pics to come soon. Wish it was mine because it matches my Ampeg in stain choice, but oh well...I'll eventually build one for my gear:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshatatlasstands Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Just finished building this Atlas Stands Low Rider with a matching Table Top tonight. It's made of Red Oak timber with an English Chestnut oil based stain. Has a 15 degree tilt with a 4 inch lift and matches my Ampeg quite nicely too:) Kind Regards, Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Very nice work with the spiderwebs what kind of spiders are those the webs are amazing and large. Here in Arizona most of our spiders are fairly small and poisonous so we usually leave them alone. I have one gorgeous black widow spiderweb up north just outside my studio at my cabin but I'm not sure I'd crawl under there and mess with it. Hey but If you ever come up with a project that need elk or deer poop I'm all set to help glad to send you some since they pretty much feel my garden is a Self Serve salad bar as it is, and the new fence just works to keep the rabbits out.

The last batch of webs I used upthread was from the "Spined Mircrathena" spiders. They are harmless to humans. Last year I used writing spiders, huge and mean looking but harmless as well. I had given up on them this year but just yesterday their egg sacks hatched. The whole side of my shop is crawling with them no bigger than a grain of sand! should be a good year for some huge super symmetrical webs! Stoked here, hoping someone wants 'em.
