How to build your own pedalboard: Step 1: become a master carpenter

You make me feel as though I failed at life. I am humbled.

Wow! There are a lot of things about this video that make it great. Clear speech, good photography, materials list with sources and prices, and you clearly mention the “I forgot’s, etc. All around a great video, and I watch a lot of them on Saturday mornings, sipping my french pressed coffee. Delightful, Thank you, I have walnut in my attic and I might just build one of these.

You have more craftsmanship and attention to detail in this pedalboard than I've seen on many custom furniture or cabinets. Well done!

I could never have the patience to build something like this but man I love watching videos of the process. So entertaining to watch it all come together. What a beautiful board.

I watched this video about a year ago. I've been wanting to build one since, and I finally did it! Thanks for the help

I watched a lot of KZread videos to get ideas for my board and yours is easily the most impressive. I built a board out of reclaimed burnt poplar from a construction site. It turned out great, but I'm jealous of your joints and recessed IEC. Awesome job man!

Dude! Everything about the design and build are just terrific. Very smart, very thoughtful. And, it came out beautifully! Really well done. If I had your skills, I’d make one for myself.

I am pretty impressed with the workmanship in this , the wood looks way more organic then steel i love it

Great Job! I am planning my own build and until this video had not considered anything other than ply. That walnut looks really great.

nice job all round - very articulate description and good video angles. Well done.

EXCELLENT JOB, my friend! You've definitely inspired me!

This is pretty advanced, but your pedalboard came out looking great, and it gave me a few ideas I didn't even consider. This is the type of quality I'd work towards. Well done!

I've built a few pedal boards and I like the hinge idea...very nice work.

A great overview of how you built this pedalboard. Thanks!

love the attention to detail and small things like getting everything nice and flush.

Excellent video! So clear and detailed. I have some walnut and the tools to do this. My goal is to finish by end of this year. I especially liked the mention of the things you forgot. We all forget things. And also the price list at the end was helpful. Your style of speaking where you enunciate made every word clear. I have been using a Digitek Rp3 pedal for over 10years. I think it is time to move to the next level and do what you have done here. All the best!

Awesome job! Very inspiring video! this was the first video I clicked on to get an idea for a board. Glad I goose it first

Very nice work. I’m just getting started and appreciate your perspectives! Thanks!

This is almost exactly like the one I'm making for our guitar player; walnut from Rockler, dovetails, and everything. Yours looked like it went much smoother than mine is going! I decided to cut a rabbet on the inside edge of the frame to support the top board that the pedals will sit on, but I think I should've just added inside supports like you did. Would've been much simpler and easier. I wish I had seen this video earlier. Great job!

Hi, I'm planning to make my own after nearly completing an amp and guitar cabinet. I really enjoyed your video and the detail and finish looks great.

this is very crazy professional thing brother congratulations

Beautiful! I am starting to get into woodworking through a class. Don't have these skills, let alone the power tools yet, but this is what I'll aspire to!

This is awesome! I wish I had handy hands to do something like this.. Looks great!

this is awesome! i dont need another pedal board if i ever make another, im definitely referring to this. something very satisfying about watching you make this one. Also, I appreciate you admitting the wiring mistake-- not a lot of people do that. you have integrity. I subb'd just for that :)

This is amazing!! Absolutely love it mate

Well done!! I'm in the processes of planning mine. I'm looking at more of a PedalTrain style board with fixed top slats but want much tighter spacing and am also trying to design for reasonably low weight. The walnut looks great I'm torn between that and Padauk for my board. The dovetails look classy as always but I suck at them so am planning on a box joints that I may pin with a small dowel for fun. I'm toying with adding an illuminated rocker switch on the main power connection for one less thing to repeatedly plug in. Your recessed ports are a very nice touch.

That's a beautiful board and makes me wish I had the tools to do it. A lot of work for someone without the table saws and router, but still a very informative video.

I made one Pedalboard with my dad and this yt video helped with building it

That's a quality peice of work right there

Watching from Brazil, great ideas.

Dang bro. LE GIT!!! I’m definitely going steal some of your ideas. Thank you.

Beautiful Pedalboard

Beyond cool! Nice work

my friend...you are an artist!

That is such a nice build! Thank you for the videos!❤️

That is absolutely gorgeous. Your dove tails look good.

This is one sexy pedalboard! Awesome piece of work man.

That is beautiful,love the walnut and the step by step instructions great video, I've been thinking of building a board instead of buying one lately, and I also work at Rockler,but never take advantage of the shop downstairs or products, this might be a good time to do it!

Beautiful work.

what a great job! amazing pedalboard.

Man you're really set up to do that kind of work. Must be nice :) I'd love making all kinds of stuff if I had the talent and tools like you got. Nice work

This is brilliant! Thank you for sharing!!

Looks great. Very inspiring.

Hey Merwin! Thanks for doing this, it’s exactly the blueprint I needed. Your board looks great, and I love walnut. I’ll change up my version of your board, and use maple with mitered corners and walnut keys. We’ll see how it looks and if I can wrap the grain on three sides. Thanks!

Duuuuuuuuuuude. This is so cool.

Beautiful job! Awesome!

Great job mate!

Very nice work sir!

Thanks for the prices reveal. Looks great and functional. Way cheaper that to buy just box with almost nothing inside for 300$.

Great job, looks really nice!

You're very talented.

Beautiful job!

I was not going to build my own pedal board,but I am now.I am thinking maple and walnut.Great build by the way

My pedal board is a sheet of 3/8th inch plywood and I keep it inside an old CNB case. I keep the power supply plugged into an extension cord, and made double sided velcro strips to tidy it up. I like my pedals low to the ground and this is the best and easiest solution.

Great build!!!

Excellent job!! You're an even more wood nerd than I am ;-)

exelente video gracias por compartir tan exelente trabajo

Wowowowoow this is so freaking amazing, you now have a new sub :D good luck man :D

Great work, dude!

Try behringer. If you want great pedals for a low price, that's it brand. Only downside is they're made oh super hard plastic to cut down on price but it's tough so no problem there rly. I bought their wah and it was a bad batch but I got it exchanged and it worked wonderfully. Honestly they are almost as good as boss

Sweet pedal board brother!!!

Not to mention the arsenal of power tools and 007 carpentry knowledge. But other than that, great work young man job well exceeding its natural standards in this department. You can dove it...

Back in the mid 80's there wasn't too many pedal boards to choose from and the ones they offered were expensive. I ended up taking a metal DeWalt sawzall case and converting it into a pedal board case. Kinda tacky looking back then but would probably go over good today. That's a nice looking pedal board you've built there.

Cameron White very true. A friend of mine hooked me up with a guitar. He said he saw it laying in a parking garage and kept an eye on it for weeks and since no one ever claimed it he took it. Then he passed it down to me. It’s in bad shape but I can practice with it.

Awesome video, thank you

Well done !!! Bravo !

Those commenting on needing to be a master carpenter to build this, I built a very similar pedal board (before seeing this video) minus the fancy walnut & without all the fancy tools, though I didn't do a dovetail joint because mine is constructed a bit different with a sort of 1x2 inner frame i built then i glued & brad nailed some poplar pieces to exterior but mine was practically free since it was mostly scrap wood I had left over except for the visible outer shell which was thin poplar but dimensions & functionality is nearly identical to this one & I am by no means a carpenter or anything like it but I do enjoy building things with my hands & have gotten quite handy with it over the years

Nice job! Looks killer.👍

Dude, I see a third job in your future… 🥳. Regular Job, Gigging Musician Job and Pro Pedal board maker for all of us on YT! Woot Woot! Nice work! 🤓🤟🏌️

you got me inspired, i did one but i put aluminum profiles all over the edges to cover my sloppiness xd

Great vid! After seeing it I realized I need to find a local wood master to have one made. Don’t have the skills or equipment to make this happen myself.

Very cool, thanks!

Oh , men...What a great job...!!!

Neat video. I know this is very late after the fact, but for anyone watching, for safety reasons you should have some form of insulation on the power jack where it joins the 4way power strip. It’s too easy to be fiddling inside the board and get electric shock at mains voltage. I used to build epos systems and we crimped on shielded spade connectors. So that there was no risk of electric shock from the power switch on the device if you were working on it plugged into the mains or forgot to remove the mains from the power supply, that way if you bridge connections with your fingers you were not touching bare metal I also recall something about not soldering main’s connection due to heat and solder low melting point. I worked on PCs for decades as a tech and always the mains was crimped on to power switches in the old AT power supply days that was from main system manufactures like IBM Dell, HP etc

Awesome...just awesome!

Very neat!

Using the Walnut and MDF, I'm curious how heavy it ended up being-Without pedals. Nice work!

Could you show how you wired the input and output Jack?

If you are as good a guitarist as you are a woodworker, you must be a really good guitarist!

Great idea man :)

Let me just tell you, that before I started building my own pedal boards, I would’ve thought this looked easy enough. Well folks, unless you have yourself a shop grade tablesaw and hand built/designed sleds, clamps, flush cut saws, wood feed tools and a big workspace, you’re going to have a hell of a time getting your pedalboard to look anything like this.

Nice job

Very nice

I always make sure to measure the front and back sides of my side-pieces.
