Yeah i can see what you mean, I mean i have a fairly sturdy bag back home that is for all intents and purposes a laptop bag but never ever used, and the laptop is long gone, but its a fairly big one, so my idea is to get some wood thats been in our garage for agesss.
Cut two triangle pieces yadda yadda and then some paint, and boom. my own free pedal board with transport case, and then track down some velcro mat to put on it. And some dragon decals to spray on the sides and back of it... Yay to Dragons ^^.
