I decided to redo my boards and make a portable grab and go board that is also small enough I can use it with my practice setup.
Point is not to show the pedals I have, there's a pile of them. But I want to show that any buffoon (me) with low cost hand tools and limited skill can do this.
Parts:
1X2 trim board, these usually come in 6' length at Lowes or Home Depot.
1X3 trim board, these come in 8' and other sizes.
2 cabinet handles of your choosing.
Can of spray paint.
Adhesive Velcro, don't cheap out on substitutes.
Cable guides of your choosing.
Deck screws, I used 1.5" for the board and 5/8' for the cable guides.
Wood glue like Elmers or Gorilla.
Sheet of sandpaper or a file.
Tools were a cheapo plastic box miter with a hand miter saw, sold in a kit at Lowes, cheap!
A drill and a screw bit. Or a torx bit in my case. Either one is fine.
Total build time about 30 minutes plus paint-dryin' time.
Cut boards. Note the top deck planks are as wide as you need, in my case this was for 4 pedals. You can add a 3rd piece if you want 2 rows of pedals. The rest of the pieces are the width you desire. Here I used 13" for the decking and 5 3/8 for the rest.
Here are the cut boards:
Here I've placed the parts to make sure I didn't screw anything up:
Side/heel screwed and glued:
Kind of a cool looking handle, from the kitchen cabinet hardware section at Lowes:
How about black? Priming is a sign of weakness.
Screwded and glueded:
Bottom looks nice. I got sick of the adhesive cable guides popping off so I upgraded to a more permanent solution:
And the topside, coming together. EBS flat patch cables FTW:
