DIY IKEA Pedalboard

Yup! I came across this thread/tutorial over at Harmony Central a while back & had to give it a go. The basic idea of making a dirt cheap pedalboard from a IKEA "Gorm" shelf was just too cool not to try out.

I picked up a couple of "Gorms" & got started. I wanted to make a smaller board like the pedaltrain mini. So, I cut one of the boards off the shelf and trimmed the edges. I reinforced the the board underneath with a pice of leftover wood from the shelf. After the glue had dried I gave the board a quick sanding, primed it & let it dry over night. Next up I brushed on a couple of coats flat black enamel paint. When the paint was dry I screwed on some rubber feet. Printed out a couple of logos &.. Thats it!!

A sturdy cool looking pedalboard.. & best of all: Dirt cheap!

Now, lets get this baby velcro`d up!
