Take a look at Link Removed
I started with a piece of 3/4" plywood and added some dowels (with non-skid as used on chair feet) for feet to prop it up. At the bottom I added some rubber framing bumpers to help with the traction. A little bit of spray paint made it black.
For the handle mount I used a piece of scrap aluminum angle and cut out a hole for the power connector. On each side I mounted some smaller aluminum angle for my inputs and outputs. Rather than feed into and out of the pedals, I'm passing my connections from underneath and routing them to jacks on either side. I have my bass connections on the left and guitar on the right. Since I'm playing through a Line 6 modeling amp, I don't expect too many effects pedals for guitar. I have room to add more bass pedals as I need them.
For power, I'm bringing in the full 110V to a 9V/500mA power converter. I drilled two holes into the plywood, deep enough and large enough to completely bury the prongs which have leads soldered to them. A heavy duty cable tie screwed into the plywood secures the power converter.
I'm taking the 9V out to a lighted DPST switch I got from Radio Shack. It has a red LED which lights when power is applied but the switch is turned off and a green one which lights when I switch on the power. Note: When I turn off the power and disconnect the cable, the red light still shines for a while until the power transformer fully discharges.
I have inputs and outputs on either side (bass only for now since my Radio Shack only had one set in stock) which run underneath and up to my tuner which feeds via a right angle audio connector (Radio Shack again) to the overdrive pedal. I daisy chain the power from the switch since my tuner has both in and out. I have really enjoyed my the Planet Waves tuner. It is very sensitive and very easy to read from a distance.
I was going to use Velcro or Dual-Lok for the pedal mounting but I opted to make more secure brackets out of aluminum. I have four 10-24 set screws for each pedal. To further secure them, I drilled a very shallow divot in each pedal where the set screws made contact so they would be better locked in place.
I made sure to use heat shrink over all of my sloppy connections. I'm more of a machinist than an electrician.
The next step will be to get and mount another pair of audio jacks and right angle audio plugs and make up the jumper cables for my inputs and outputs for the guitar side.
Total cost was about $15 not including the power transformer and spare audio cable that I already had lying around.
I guess that about covers it.
