I've used old boards and a control panel box that also has a lock. I have seen people use old skateboard decks, shelves, parts of cabinets or doors, etc...There are no rules. If you can put your pedals on it and carry it around, and it works for you, then just use it...

This is no joke. Our other guitar player uses a regular binder. It looks exactly like this:



And he attached a power strip to it on what would be the back. He's been using it all year.

the board im building is made from a flight case.
the lid detaches from the rest of the box and thats what my pedals are made onto. suit case and go type of thing.
its still in the works as we speak but when done it will look like the control panel for the space shuttle lol.

Hey thanks for the ideas skateboard deck and the three ring binder i never would of thought of those but could make some nice boards i started one saturday searched on here and found a few boards in some other posts I have the frame made and i found some old tweed I took off a blues junior cab a while back and I am going to attempt to wrap the board and make it match my amp

Hey
Here is what I've done so far I tweeded the whole thing top and all and I found a couple of fender logo plates that I had lying around and some amp corners the only thing I have left to do is order two of those leather amp handles and put one on each side of the top.. tell me what you think

Forum user Nikininja made his own board, do a search of topics, perhaps you'll find it. He had the measurements and everything I think Pretty handy chap I must say

Got the board done, now I'm making pedals for it!

Bass Wah on thursday, a decent sounding fuzzface yesterday. Focusing my attention on a valve driven overdrive today.

Thanks for the compliment mate.

Basicaly I got some wood and and made a hinged wedge.


Angled the top edge of the rear wall.

Made a wedge for the front.



Plant them onto a base then add the sidewalls.







Worked out the layout for the top.



All wiring under the board.

Here's how it looks at the moment. I need a extension.



Power strip inside to power all pedals, amp and wireless. Also room for storing leads. Simply plug the lead running out of the rear edge into the wall socket, the lead from the eq into the amp input, and it's good to go.
A friend of a friend made me a aluminium flightcase for it.
