Within a couple of weeks I will be drilling and sawing the top board, sand everything, assemble the frame and mount jacks, glue velcro on the top etc, etc
Awesome!!!!
Josh
Nice project! Make sure you laquer that thing good!
Jacob
Very cool, can't wait to see the finished product.
Cody
looking good
oh yeah! SWEET!!
Nice work..
and that is usually thing with me, I think about something then call my uncle for help :D
Great concept, and walnut is a gorgeous hardwood. Can't wait to see it pop when you put the finish on.
..cant beat a good woodwörk. Keep the thread alive when you have more to show:)
So pretty man! Walnut is one of my favorite woods.
That is extremely cool, way more sophisticated than mine. Keep us posted
Thank you everybody!
Won't be able to do any real work this weekend, still waiting for some additional parts to arrive in the mail. While I've been waiting I've played around some more with google sketchup. Drawing up some pedals and trying out diffirent layouts on the future pedalboard. Really fun to play around with and I have found some common pedals, typically BOSS, Ibanez, MXR a such in the 3D-warehouse for sketchup.

Wow man, that's great. Can't wait to see the finished one. Way more
Fancy than my gorm shelf boards I built. How heavy is it?
Havn't weighed it yet but it's way lighter than I expected. I'll post the final wheight of it when it's done. However the wheight won't ever be a problem cause my rig will always stay at home :)
I habe been working on the pedalboard some more now... still a long way to go but here's a picture update.

loads of sanding to get the square hole in plaze... the wood was so much harder to work with than i had imagined.

placed the actual board on top, fits snuggly. Velcro all over and to USB-jacks at the top for lamps. Still waiting for the second one.

I still need to sand everything before I oil it up.
Nicely done! Love the jacks on the side. Good stuff!

This is friggin' amazing! Turned out even more awesome than I had imagined it. Very well done. Kudos to you, good sir!
One probably dumb question though: why do you put the AC input into the plastic? just for isolation? and how do you plug you power supply in from there? I assume it has a plug just like that -> you would need another cable... why not just put the power in through the back? Or is it just for the USB lamps? Great idea, btw.
Nice job fitting the IEC socket. Those square holes are a pain. I love the USB powered lamp idea. Looking great man. Can't wait to see a finish on that.
Wow - kick ass!! Are those 5v USB ports for the lights? That is genius. And you can charge your phone during a gig. :D which I've actually had to do for set break music.
That is one of the nicest boards I've seen. Just beautiful
Damn that's hot. Gonna be a stunner when it's all finished up.
Thank you everybody!
The AC-input is covered in plastic beacause i'm going to connect a strip of 10 ac-powersupplys to it (cut the wire) and I dont want it exposed. Here's the powerstrip I'm using.

Yepp, they are 5V USB jacks. Got the second lamp in the mail this morning so now its finally symetrical! ;D
I really dig this man. Nice work.
just got in 5 minutes ago, its soaking in oil at the moment. The wood is really coming to life.
