Need pedal case tips

[Vic Winters]

Well I've made my board, and now I'm looking to make a case to put it in. My plan is to leave it in the case and just take to top off to access the pedals.

1. How much bigger than the board should the interior be? The board itself is 24x17.
2. How thick should the wood be?

Any other tips?

Are you wanting to make something like an Anvil case for it, or something else? I'm making an Anvil style case for mine and the interior won't be any bigger than the board itself: 32x20. I want it to fit snugly after adding the carpet.

I was planning to use 3/8 inch ply for the housing.
