If you have a guitar or another kind of instrument you want to make sure that after every trip your instrument is in perfect conditions, so you will need a hard case for that.
In this video I show you how to make a custom guitar case using minimal tools with solid wood but also plywood works great, the first thing I did was measuring my electric guitar and let a couple of centimeters all around so the foam can fit inside the case, building a normal box for after cut it apart and have the top and bottom, then the covering part came out, I used tolex for covering outside and foam with velvet for inside.
Once I had the covering ready was the moment for installing the hardware: hinges, corners protectors, handle and latches.

Hope this video inspire you to make yours, don't forget to like, share and subscribe.
