First pedal board build

[Precision345]

Ok, so this is my first pedal board that I've built. As you can see it's pretty hobo styles and DIY. I made it out of a ****** old piece of wood I found out behind this dirty pub at work one day. I attached some cheap-y kitchen cabinet handles onto it for aesthetic looks and easy carrying. I also put some Velcro tape on there to hold the pedals where I want them. I ran out of the thinner tape and came back today and added in some thicker stuff. Going to add some more pedals in the future once I get them, probably a wah and maybe a space echo for fun.

Any thoughts on how I could improve it or where I went wrong would be helpful. Feel free to bash it too, as this is the internet and that what the internet is for

Give it a bit of a sanding & paint it black.
What were you doing at a pub while at work hmmmmmm?

Pretty cool. I've been considering doing something like myself seeing as how ridiculously expensive pedalboards are.

Thanks for the posts guys. I was considering painting or maybe doing some varnish on it or something. I deliver liqour to bars so that's what I was doing at a pub during work hahah

@ knew45 I couldn't agree more! no point in buying an overpriced board when you can easily make a decent one yourself. Better to have something individual then some generic one

It will be the first of many pedal boards you'll make me thinks. You'll come up with better ideas & the board may grow, shrink & grow again.

After some feable attempts at making a case for my board, I ended up buying a pedalboard/case from a music shop for about $50 & have not looked back since (though I do look generic now haha)
