Like the title says - I made a couple of these from a busted chest of drawers, and I don't need this one.

It's made from a drawer. The back is now underneath the reinforce the base and keep it rigid, and the handles are screwed onto the bottom so it's tilted slightly up at the back. The base is the bottom of the drawer turned upside down, so the rough side faces up - it makes it fairly grippy; personally I'm not using anything under my pedals to keep them in place. It's glued in place so the whole thing is nice and sturdy.

I'm not sure of the exact size, but I can fit 8 pedal on it (6 Boss size, 2 slightly bigger). My guess would be around 60cm wide, 30cm deep, 15cm high. It would be easy to alter - on the one I'm keeping, I've put a shelf across the back so the back pedals are easier to get to and I can put a power brick underneath it. I've got another couple of drawer sides (you can see them in the background) that I'll chuck in so you can make a lip at the front.







It's just sitting around collecting dust, so make me an offer.

Steve

Something about the Owners Manual link makes me laugh. I can't spend today writing a drawer Owners Manual PDF though.

It does the job; it cost me nothing. Here is a Warwick equivalent:

Personally, I think it's a lot funnier that people pay for that kind of crap. Some people use their wallets; some people use their brains. Whatever route you take when getting a pedalboard, you end up with a flat board with raised edges - enter: reconfigured drawer.

The reason you think it's a joke is because, being a cynical middle-class idiot (yes it's only an assumption, but you give that impression), you assume that by "make me an offer" I'm expecting some exorbitant amount of cash to be presented to me for my junk - whereas I'm merely seeing what I can get. I would guess around half the music gear I own comes from trading stuff I don't need for stuff other people don't need - because some people are smart enough to find a use for their crap rather than just scraping it and replacing it with more shiny new bourgeois crap that they'll grow tired of in a couple of months.

So to iterate: if you have a use for this - be it as a pedalboard, recovered doorstop, ornamental firewood, a rubbish drawer, a really terrible baker's peel, or simply as something wide enough to touch both edges of your fetid, prolapsing, cum-drenched retard anus at the same time - then make me an offer.

Otherwise, you can go right back to touching yourself at thoughts of the next generation iPhone.

Well if you are referring to me by this comment then you are a dick(not an assumption,but you are). I did try to delete my comment after i put it as i realised this post was meant in a jokey way. However being the 'middle class idiot' i must be i could not delete it.
