Lot of downtime with part searches, material purchases and tons more swamp ash purchases...........

We actually have a very old high-end material company out of Little Rock, Arkansas that allowed me to walk through their company to pick out the material I wanted. Unfortunately, I purchased different material the day before that other pedal boards seemed to have used......it's now in "storage"

Looking very good so far, but why did you make those wooden pedals? Are you gonna use this or will it end in the oven?

Hahaha, it's cheaper for me to accidentally break a wooden block, than to replace a pedal.
There has already been (2) completed totally different boards in the past......this one is #3 and just like the past, I can only imagine I'll be designing yet another.

It shard for me to see your earlier pics in this thread, they are broken files for what whatever reason. I love building my own boards! I wish I had a garage with all the tools I would ever need, I would probably have about 10 different boards by now. These look great btw! Very nice. You def have some talent.

I came to the conclusion that I wanted to downsize in the amount of pedals I had, so I went ahead and set-up #3 and #4 board, but completed #3. In the future, when I get time and extra pedals I will complete #4.

Here is a pic on how far #4 was taken:

This is the #3 design I decided to drive forward. I actually took one of the first "pre-built" and modified it a good bit. I own several waterproof boxes that I wanted the board to fit in, if needed. That would allow me to transport the pedal board either way........sometimes moving this stuff is a "bit rough".......blah, blah, blah.......here's the pics:

One change from the original was a partial drop down for the board. All other brands I looked at had theirs right up on top, that places the pedals up high, that means the case around the board would need to be taller, and this design means the cables on the pedals would be...."more in order":

That's awesome. That gets the gig done!

I'm curious if you have an idea on how to store that much cabling, a coulle sets of strings and possibly a di box so that it doesn't come in contact/change settings on the pedals?

You have actually put a key into my brain, that turns on some more thought...........thank you very much.:smug:
