pedalboard, part 2

Ok, I managed to get my Dremil to cut the rest of that hole, so I got everything cut and sanded down. Here you can see that I also screwed some braces on to attach the rear support thing. Really, I should’ve put glue in between the boards, too, but the board was warped, so I was going to push it out when I put in the last support in the middle (and glue would have made that harder). Oh well, it’s pretty secure.

Then I attached a power strip to the back, which wasn’t really very smart because I just had to take it off again to paint. I thought about all the different places I could put it, and the back seemed to be the best place, so that’s where it’s staying.

And now, here it is all painted up:

I still have the last couple steps left, which are to put something on the bottom so it has a flat surface that I can put rubber feet on so it doesn’t slip around on stage, then put some panel board on the sides, then wire input and output jacks on one of the sides. Oh, and I have to put something on the top to attach pedals to–probably carpet, but I haven’t totally decided yet.
