Fantastic work. Awesome! You take out a prince from a frog Great!

what did you use to take the shelf apart because the nails are in too deep to pry them out with a hammer.

@ Zach

Good question- I pried the boards off the end pieces using the hammer, tapping the underside to help any stubborn nails.

did you order the 30 x 12 shelf or the 30 x 20 shelf? (great work by the way!)

Travis,

I used the 30×12″ shelf for this one. The 30×20″ seemed too deep, and the dimensions of the 12″ shelf are closer in ratio to a pedaltrain. Guess you could say it just ‘felt right’.

And thanks!

Hi there,

Thats a really impressive bit of work. Love the finish! I have a few questions though if you dont mind. I noticed you’re not using any expression pedals on your board, is that a sturdiness issue or is there another reason? Also would you be able to provide a link to the Ikea product?

Take care,

T

Hey Thom,
The sturdiness of the board is pretty impressive, actually. With the center beam down the center, you shouldn’t have any problem loading some expression pedals on it- I just don’t own any. Here’s a link to the Ikea order page (I used the 19 3/8):

Awesome job on this, I’m definitely going to model my board after this one. Thanks for taking the time to share!
