DIY Guitar/Bass Pedalboard

PB finished side view.jpg
Wanted to share my experience building a pedalboard.   I had all materials
with the exception of bike chain and staples.

Board

I found this table leaf at a thrift shop fro $4.00.   I used my circular saw and cut it the size I wanted. 
Notice the strip of wood that lifts the pedalboard off the ground: That was where I wanted to somehow 
put the electrical strip and extra wiring.  

Cutting Access Holes

In order to run wiring underneath, I needed to cut holes in the board.  The holes are situated 
after I test fitted my pedals.  

Bike Chain

I went to Wal-Mart and bought this bike chain for $10.  

Links for Pedals

Using a grinder, break apart chain.  I wanted to use links to mate the pedals to the 
board.

Wiring Underneath

Went to Home Depot and bought staples that you use a hammer to install. 

Finished Product

Took me couple hours and saved some cash too!  I'm happy with the finished product.
