Nah I'm with you on that. A well designed lift off case? Light, durable, compensated foam for the angle of the board etc etc. Makes me happy.

Will definitely post a finished board pic!

though I have a dovetail jig, I don't have enough pedals to warrant an actual pedalboard, else I'd just make one ;)
There's a nice side line opportunity there BG, knock some out and sell them here. I like the look of that. But call them 'on the fence' or similar, so you don't alienate half your market.

He needs the jebus juice tho' to really make a killing, they're a couple of hours work and $30 worth of parts, not going to make a living off them here!

Sigh. They're nowhere near a couple of hours work unless you want a pretty basic hack job. Ask Si what he spent time-wise on his.

Yep, if all made by hand there's some work involved. I might make one over Xmas just because.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Don't forget to dovetail it, cause you have the means!

Very nice looking board. Makes me wonder if Creations would state this being an intelligent design, or if this was simply a reiteration of a pedal-board that has evolved over generations.

If you could make this in a few hours you could probably make a living building em... think you are underestimating this build.

There are plenty of threads out there following people making their own boards. The quick ones look awful, they good ones take time.

Definitely only two hours work.



(If dad still owned a furniture factory and I had access to a dovetailer, cnc overhead router/borer etc...)

But he doesn't so the unassembled kit set quite appeals...

CNC these days is a really affordable way for cutting the parts, and the plywood part the pedals sit on could be laser cut too for even more speed, you'd get a ton of them out of one sheet of ply... 10 minutes to screw the top on with those L brackets... I would have liked to have seen a better design than that for the money...

You're right on the CNC front for sure, I was referring to the home made version in a couple of hours. Commercial is a whole other thing, but still for the many thousands CNC costs capital-wise, you're either a huge mass producer or you have a lot of plant outlay to recover.

Does everyone else not have a CNC at home????
