Couldn't afford a pedaltrain.. So built one... Innit.

Went to B&Q and bought some strips of Pine. Should improve the tone right?
Also picked up some extra tiny nails, superglue, and some self adhesive rubber feet

Then onto Hobbycraft where I picked up some Velcro...

Grand total spent: £24.95





The bits how I wanted them to assemble... I'm highly unskilled so just kinda laid stuff out and hoped for the best...
Sanded all the corners and edges to make them smooth as fuck. Then nailed it together...



Gave it a coat of stain....



Gave it two more coats of stain and added a blackstar logo for decoration as I had it knocking about.. Just superglued that bad boy right on there after sanding its sharp corners to a more rounded shape.



Added some Velcro with added some kind of spur of the moment V design for VICTORY!!!   Screwed in the rubber feet because I didn't trust its self adhesive powers and compared it to my inspiration.. The pedal train nano!
I cut the Velcro to size, rounded the ends and athough it was self adhesive, I used general purpose glue to glue it down too. The glue also afforded me some wiggle time before it stuck as the long strips were pita's to handle!



Posed for a quick selfie...



How she looks now...

Nice work!

I did something similar with £8 worth of hardwood from my local timber yard. Didn't add the design flourish yours has though, very nice. 

I think the price of pedal boards are extortionate considering how cheap and easy they are to make yourself.

Gorm, from Ikea.

Would have saved you some screws.

Cheers all! Yep I agree, basic ones like these can be made and if I can do it, its gotta be easy!

N Fretmeister I just checked those out haha.. thats a prebuilt pedalboard for £5 right there! 
Think its called Hejne now!

I attempted to cut the pine to make it as close to the dimensions of the nano though! 

Luckily the velcro was the perfect width too so didnt look too narrow or need cutting length ways!

Looks awesome. Very cool look and like the velcro. Gives you versatility and the option to swap things in and out and mess around with setup etc. Very cool.

Well done, did you allow space for a bottom mounted power supply? That's what I have under my Nano+

If not it should be easy enough to accommodate with taller feet

I didnt! Theres enough room so cables and jacks could pass under and up through it, but aye could always make extensions for the feet to raise it. 

Was only a quick lil project though to hold and tidy up a few of me pedals! 

Next one will have room for a voodoo labs hehe

dindude

Sassafras

You could fit a few more pedals on there.
I suggest you get onto that. No excuses.
