Angled View. Note the bolts sticking out pretty far. I ended up countersinking them later.
Just before I left for tour with Joyful Noise, I put together this awesome DIY pedalboard with shelving parts from IKEA. I got the idea & plan from Armchair Bronco over at the Harmony Central forums. His detailed step-by-step guide is excellent, so be sure to check it out!
The beauty of this board is that I made it in one afternoon (about a day and a half including stain dry time) for a grand total of $44, which breaks down as follows:
- Shelf (IKEA Gorm) – $3
- Shelf Extension (IKEA Gorm) – $2
- Wood stain (IKEA Behandla) – $5
- Velcro (Industrial strength, 2 inch by 15 feet, Home Depot) – $30*
- Rubber feet (Shepherd 1″ Heavy Duty Anti-skid pads, Home Depot) – $4
*You can probably save even more money on the Velcro. 15 feet is WAY too much, but I wanted the 2″ wide stuff & that was the only one they had. Checking out Velcro’s website, they offer it in smaller doses. (Hmm, I wonder how sticky Velcro’s website is…heh heh). O well, the stuff comes in handy & the Mrs. has already been using it.
