Damper Holder for Grand Dampers

The last damper holder that I made I used peg board. Worked for me.

  If you don't have a junk action lying around or don't want to take the time to remove all of the eyes. 

  Use a simple piece of 1"X3" or 4" about 40" long with a double wide slot cut down the middle w/ a skill saw or table saw leaving the ends closed about 2 inches in on each end. Make 2 "legs" for it about 7 to 8" long  from the same material and secure them to each end with glue and screws. If you want to get fancy you can add a piece of 3/4"X1/4" material next to the slot for the bass end, standing on the 1/4" edge, so your wedge dampers are supported above the flat surface. Clean, simple, done in about a half hour.

    What I was using, was the let-off rail from a junk action, with the eyes. I
    just used that, but I was wanting something more secure. 
    Now I am thinking, of splitting some plastic pipe, sealing the ends, and
    incorporating that into the rack. That way, it could also be used for
    soaking off the old dampers, with the double tray. It would be long enough 
    to soak them all at once.
