(YAPBB) Yet Another PedalBoard Build

You've probably all seen an Ikea Gorme pedalboard build before, so I thought hey why not one more?

This has taken far too long because I start it and then get busy with something else but finally I finished it. Here's pretty much how it progressed.


I grabbed the inexpensive wooden shelf at Ikea and some extras for the feet. I also picked up some velcro, and some handles that I didn't end up using.

I already have the connector cables (Yorkville tweed).

Naturally, the heads of the cable wouldn't fit down the slot in the board.
15957

So after much hasp and file work to widen the slots,I cut some legs to fit.

more to come...

As has been done by others in the past, I went with orange for the color.

painting started

And the first round of painting pretty much complete.
15960

Feet attached with some ugly brass screws showing. Obviously I know nothing about proper counter-sinking procedures.

Attaching the legs. Note that I drilled out holes for the cables to pass from section to section.

Plastic wood to cover that messy job.

It was becoming an unmanageable mess in front of the amps, the only one who was happy with the cords running willy-nilly was the cat :D

Really nicely done. Did you take a pic of the underside of the board?

I actually put velcro on the underside when putting it together

but it's not messy enough for me to worry about.
I may get around to fastening down the cables once I am certain that I have the pedal order I want ;)
