I still need to stain it, ideally I would have done it before racking the gear but I'm just doing the outside and I'll get to it eventually.
Supplies:
2 - 6ft x 14in x 3/4 poplar boards
2 - 6ft x 2in x 1in pieces to use as "rails"
2 - 4in x 19in x 3/4 pieces screw in the middle of the top and bottom.
bag of wood screws.
Wood glue
Tools:
Drill with various bits and attachments.
screw driver
tape measure
Jig saw in case adjustment cuts need to be made on the fly
wood clamps
I optioned the 4x19 pieces rather than a full sized top and bottom to minimize weight and maximize airflow. Not that it matters too much but the gear mounted to the rails acts as support. Tops and bottoms aren't a necessity for me.
I glued the 6ft 2x1s 1/2 an inch from the front edge, clamped them in and ran a few wood screws up the length. I used a pair of wire cutters to cut the excess screw bits off on the inside.
Mounting was a breeze. Wiring....not so much.
