Here's a pedal board I designed and built. It's gotten a really good response from my guitar buddies, so I thought I would share the design in case anyone else would like to try it out. It wasn't very difficult to build at all, and it was very cheap.
I had the wood already, so the total cost for me (including hardware and paint) was about $20. If you had to buy the wood, I would imagine it would add about $8-$10 or so.
It's designed so that the top piece comes off, flips over and supports the bottom piece so that the pedal board will be slightly inclined (something I always liked).
The front piece (with the handle) is removable. To close the board, the three dowells on the bottom piece are inserted into the three holes at the back of the top piece. When the board is in playing position, the bottom piece (which is actually on top) is held securely to the top piece (which is on the floor) by slipping its two holes onto the two dowells attached to the top piece.
I painted the whole thing black and used white rubber stripping and white rubber feet (bumpers); it looks pretty sharp, and it works like a dream.
If anyone is interested in building one and has any detailed questions, feel free to ask.
Please forgive my drawings; I did the best I could!
I'd inlclude pictures, but I don't have a digital camera. If I get my hands on one, I'll put some up.
There will be one more file after this post (6 drawings in all). The file shown as "s eye view" is supposed to say "side & bird's eye view."
