TOOLS LIST:
kit.co/iliketo...
I used some scraps of hardwood that I've been hanging onto for years. Maple for the front and oak for the sides and back.
The edges were rough, so I cleaned off one edge of each piece on the table saw.
Using that clean edge against the fence, I cut the opposite edge to be parallel.
I used a crosscut sled to cut them to length. This ensures that these cuts are perpendicular to the previous cuts.
Then I ripped them all down to the final width.
I lined up the pieces in the configuration that I wanted and marked numbers on them so I didn't forget their placement later.
I put my dado stack on the saw to make a1/4" cut. Then setup my box joint jig to match the blade size. I cut box joints on the end of all four pieces.
This takes time to setup precisely but the end result is totally worth it.
I did a dry fit of the box once all of the fingers were cut.
I put a slot cutting bit (the one I used on my arcade) in my router, to create a slot for the aluminum top plate.
I cut the slot into each piece being careful NOT to cut into the fingers, just the main section of the board.
I cut down a thin aluminum kick plate to size. This material will be used for the top and bottom.
The aluminum was thin enough to slide under my fence, so I clamped on a piece of wood that sat completely flush with the table saw surface. Then I cut the piece to it's final width.
Before assembly, I sanded the inside of the box pieces, since I wouldn't have access to them again.
I added glue to one end piece and the two long pieces before knocking them together with a mallet.
I slide the aluminum down into the three slots.
I knocked on the final end piece, making sure to adjust the aluminum plate as I went, keeping it in all four slots.
I clamped up the box to hold everything in position while it dried. I didn't add a lot of pressure here, just enough to keep everything in place.
After it was dry, I used the disc sander to shave off the extra length of the fingers and make them flush.
The disc sander has a rough grit paper, and it's very powerful, so it leaves the surface pretty rough.
I used a belt sander and orbital sander to get all of the surfaces very smooth.
I set the table saw fence to 2" and ran all four sides of the box through the same, cutting it into two pieces. This is tricky and feels dangerous when you do it. Please be careful.
I lined up two off cuts from earlier and marked both pieces for cutting biscuit slots.
I used a biscuit jointer to cut the slots, then added glue and biscuits.
I clamped these, very tightly, to dry.

Can't wait to bring this thing on the road!
Will be such a huge help. Thanks Bob :)
+Rob Scallon absolutely man! Enjoy it!
I love the projects you make for Rob!
+Rob Scallon +I Like to Make Stuff
I'm waiting a metal cover of ILMS's intro jingle. Pretty Please?
+Umut KARCI YES!
Umut KARCI That would be awesome
As an english person, whenever he says biscuit joiner i imagine him whacking some digestives into the slots
I almost didn't watch this video since I don't own any pedals or guitars, but decided to watch it anyways because I figured what the heck lets see how Bob builds a pedal board. I'm glad I did watch it I learned about the take down hinges which are really cool I had never seen that before. Thanks.
This is sick. Would love to see some more of that box joint jig in action
You build guitar-ish stuff??? YES! More of this! :D
Guitar and woodworking. this is so right up my alley. So awesome!
+Cody Clegg 👍🏻
Bob I've personally used the bicycle link mounting on my boards before. Works really well and with a thin carpet top surface the excess holes are nearly invisible. Great video!
+David Smart Good call! Thanks!
I love how honest you are about your sponsors. It feels like Bob, not some actor with a script that feels really forced.
+Raphael Nasr that's really encouraging to hear. Thank you!
+I Like To Make Stuff ;)
Great build Bob! Hope Rob shows us how he sets it up, maybe some footage of it action
+Robin Lewis Thanks! Yeah, I hope he does! I'm going to get to go see his San Francisco show, so hopefully I'll see it then!
This is relevant to my interests :D
+MandoPony 👍🏻🎸🔨
Can you make an electric guitar?
Yes please
Hi Bob, when cutting the box in half, releasing the lid, you could add shims which have the same size as the blade in the cut slots with clamps before proceeding the two remaining cuts. This would prevents anything nasty from happening.
I was thinking of clamping it too. I'm pretty sure Steve Ramsey has done that. Good suggestion.
+Sean C Did not Jimmy Diresta pull a similar trick?
I like to make stuff + Grand Illusions = Relaxation to the max....
"more pedals than I should " ?? pedals are like clamps ...you can never have too many 😀 looks great, Rob is awesome
+sdmcustom woodworking totally agree!
3M makes a really cool "velcro" for hanging pictures, part of their damage free hanging solutions. They are VERY strong (I used several to mount a portable fan to the inside of a bus and they've held up great). Might be a good solution for mounting pedals without damaging the board.
+Live Free and DIY oh yeah! That's a good idea! Even the 3m strips might work as well. Thanks!
Great video! I don't have any pedals or need for a board but I know someone who is a fantastic drummer and I think an even better guitar player but he doesn't play guitar in any performances. He started shopping around for a pedal board but didn't find any that he liked and those he did like were too expensive so he made his own board. Other musicians started asking him where he found the board and asked him to build one for them and he found his second calling. He makes custom pedals and they are beautiful!
He named them Relic because I think they're a real relic. Thanks for a great video I've subscribed a while back and really enjoy your videos.
I am really glad you made something else for Rob Scalon. I really liked the guitar that you'd made him in a previous video.
Great project. I love that you used metal on the top and bottom because it looks great and saves some space and weight. I found a cardboard box that is similar in size to what I am trying to do and am using that as a place to template and plan for the project. It gives me a 3D perspective without a bunch of mock ups etc. 👍🏼
Just want you to know I really appreciate your videos. They're concise, informative and just downright amazing. Thank you.
Thank you!!
muito bom. parabéns. Eu acompanho todos os seus videos. Obrigado.
nice buddy! love tung oil as well. sweet pedals! Rob is the man
Great video! For what it's worth, you can swap out the backer MDF board on that Incra jig (or slide it side to side or flip it) to support the wood fibers so you don't get that tear-out.
I know that feeling too, when you finish making the box and have to cut it into 2 pieces. My teacher literally almost cut my box incorrectly on the tables saw, and because the work shop doesn't have a box joint jig I needed to spend 2 hours ( 2 lessons) making them and the sanding had taken me another lesson to finish, luckily it all turned out alright. :) :)
Turned out great! Really handy😄
It turned out amazing! I love the way the wood contrasts on the finger joints.
Great build video, I love all of the detail you put into explaining everything. Hopefully I will build myself a new one soon. I saw Rob on tour last summer and the show was great. It's really cool that you two collaborated.
+Michael Natrin Thanks! That's awesome! I'm going to see him in SF in May (after Maker Faire) and I'm really looking forward to it!
First UA-camr I've seen to actually say why they have a sponsor! Awesome!
Nice looking case and solidly built. Great work Bob.
Very nice. I built one out of scrap plywood. I added the electrical so I could just plug into the house system and go. Now I need a box to transport this thing. I don't suppose you could show a video on this? I am a beginner woodworker so this would help. Great job!!!
Another Great Video Bob! One tip i would have is to cut the box in half is to use a band saw with a piece of angle iron as a rip fence. this is better than a table saw because there is less chance of the box being wrecked or thrown across the room. as long as you get the measurements correct, the band saw with rip fence will work better than a table saw. Like i said, a Great video tho!!
That's just the best Bob. Very pro project. Cheers! Chris.
That's a great project. Nice choice with the hinge release!
It's all about having the right tools. Nice work my friend.
This came out really great Bob! Also you can buy pedal mounts like the bike chain idea without taking apart a bike chain. Many years ago I bought some on eBay that had the little figure 8 metal bit plus a screw and a rubber grommet. They were pretty cool. I don't think it's the same people but now I saw some on eBay as "Pedal Links". Thanks for sharing! Love how this came out.
you BOUGHT the Casper matresses for your kids ? now that is a real endorsement of your sponsor's products !
very nice little project by the way.
Keep on trucking ! (from France)
I’ve been watching your channel from the start and I’ve seen all of your videos. The stuff that you do is really great and I know that it is inspiring others around the world.
for pedals you can use adhesive VELCRO.
I love the craftsmanship you put into the project. Thanks for sharing!
+Trevor Ward thanks so much!
I was typing a question about that thin router bit and if it was used on your arcade machine build... and then you answered it in the video. Thanks for always being so thorough!
Great build!!!
I found your videos through this comment section, they are really awesome!! I hope your channel continues to grow! :)
Could have used this back in the Plumlyne days LOL.
Great project Bob, can't wait to see what your creative mind comes up with next!!!
Looks really great Bob! Beautiful job.
I like the bike chain link idea! They make figure-8 fasteners/washers but the chain link is way more hardcore!
The idea of using chain links is that you can lift the pedals up a bit so you can get the cables underneath.
I have no idea why I like watching this channel.
Because you know you'll never be lucky enough to recreate these projects and you cry yourself to sleep every night because of it. Oh wait sorry i was looking in the mirror while writing that.
Nice board Bob
I've used the bike chain idea a few times in the past and works great.
👍
This is handy :) One of my friends is in the market for a new Mattress ("i slept on the floor last night because it was more comfy than my bed" were, I believe, her exact words) and I remembered Casper, as she's from your side of the Big Salty.
I wondered if one of the many Makers and Doers I follow on the UA-cam had a promo code, and here _you_ are :D
Bet you didn't think you'd get a comment _soley_ about the sponsorship? :P
Terrific! time to rock!
Nice project, Bob!
This channel is dope stuff. I don't even make stuff and I love watching your videos.
+Adam Pierce Thank you!!
Hey I'm stuff, and I like to make Bob
You could use Izzy Swan's skirt washers available from Fast Cap
I used a combination of the bike chain and zip ties for mounting mine, as some pedals i use didn't have the screws close enough to the corner. Works really well though. :)
Great video, will definitely be watching more :)
Nice Board, Bob. Thumbs up.
Great build. By best to Rob. He is great.
Holy moly! That is awesome!! I wish I had equipment like yours to make those stuff.
Hey Bob. I'm still pretty new to the channel so I'm not sure if you've done this... For your next project, Could you make a compact fume extractor? I do a lot of soldering work and right now, I don't have proper ventilation. It'd be cool to see what you come up with and to know what i need to make one myself. Great job on the pedal board btw!
Love those break away hinges.
Not a musician bit theres lots of things in here to learn. Box joints. lidded boxes and panel inlays for three. Question Bob: Did Rob specifically ask you not to paint it with theatrical matte black? Seems like all stage equipment has this finish...
Instead of disassembling a bike chain, you could use a 'figure 8 steel table top fastener', readily available from hardware suppliers or Amazon
Great video and I love the way you do your ads. The ads are interesting, but I like knowing how long they have left too. Nice work!
could you please make an A-frame for a slack line? I have been wanting to make one for a long time but I can't figure out how to do it. If you could it would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work, your my favorite channel!
Getting ready to rebuild my homage to Holyboard for my bass pedal rig.
music talent escapes me but I learned other skills/ideas by watching this. thank you!
Lookin' nice, brethren!!! How heavy of a gauge was that kickplate, I wonder? It looked thinner than I expected it to... A really nice thing about that construction method is that ye could adapt that to a variety of sheet-type material though, there's alot of options! Love the take-apart hinge, too. I haven't played with those at all yet, but I can think of a multitude of cool applications... Great job, as always!!!
Your close to 1 million subs😝 I love your vids ❤️
Thanks!
Beautiful and really cool!
I can see why c/Kasper are sponsoring you mate,i tip my hat to you,great skills and an awesome vid
Thanks so much!
It's funny how you mention Casper. I just ordered from them last night. My wife who is pregnant has her doubts about it but when I told her about the 100 nights she said ok. :)
nice pedel bourd btw
+Louis Reed oh man. You're going to love it :)
Love your videos and love this design. Would be great to see you make another larger pedal board with some of the extra features you were talking about!
Hi Bob! Man, I saw this video and I automatically suscribe to your channel. Great work... I think I saw almost all your videos, I am amazed. I have to recognize that the materials you use for your projects are very cheap, but not your tools. I mean... I almost died when I see your workspace, Its incredible, those machines are like monsters... far away for a mortal man like me. Anyway, I know you owned them with hard (and perfect) work, I loved it. So, I wil keep an eye on your channel, extremely interesting, and I will try one of your projects... I don´t know wich one yet, but I will. Thanks for your help and ideas. A hard hug from Ushuaia, Argentina!
Rob is the man! heshould have done a video on this the way he did a video on how to install pickups where he just throws the cash in your face and walks away lol
rock on Bob!
+Nick Ferry Thanks Nick!
That is a work of art
The figure 8 clips that you mentioned sound like Izzy Clips made by Izzy Swan for table tops.
Hey Bob great video! If you're taking any sugge on projects that might be good to do or things viewers might want to see, I think a video where you make a shoe rack for an entryway or a closet would be great. I'm making one right now and I'd love to see how your processes compare. Just a suggestion if you're able to, thanks for the videos Bob!
hey Bob I missed your last stream but I have a few ideas of what you could touch on in a stream or maybe a short video. installing new sockets and lights. I know it seems small and insignificant but when I was younger it was common knowledge how to wire an outlet and ceiling light but after talking to some of the lads in work they don't know how. BTW great videos.
Hi Bob,
I've been checking out your channel for quite awhile now and I find your work amazing. It's just mind-blowing the stuff you can make and I find extremely inspiring :)
I'd like to make stuff by myself as well, but unfortunately I'm broke, (like, really broke) and can't afford to have tablesaws, belt-sanders and all those big and (I'm assuming) expensive tools you use.
I was wondering if you could do a video where you'd make something using only the most basic tools that would be easily available to anyone (Hammers, screwdrivers, and other small-dollar items, that sort of stuff), without the need for any large, expensive tool/machinery ?
It would be amazing if you could :) Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work !
Very nice !
Great video and a nice design. Cheers!
awsome work...said from Indonesia!
Tons of good information in this one, great job Bob!
+Hubbard's Handmade thanks!
The board would be cool with input and output jacks fitted into one side of the base, along with a power input.
I wish you were my woodwork teacher at school Bob, mine is a waste of space!
Pěkné. Jenom škoda, že to nešlo natočit ještě rychleji.
awesome wood work...
Good lookin board man, well done!
Very cool project! My friend keeps asking me to make him one so thanks for the help!
'It's a really nice finish to the touch'
The bottom side of the box may hold a power unit for the pedals if the aluminum plate is removable
Good job. I've been a subscriber to your channel for a long time. Keep up the good work, you have expanded well!
+Castro woodworks thank you!
An idea for your next video Bob Clagett´s Rig Rundown
hey I really like you're videos will you please show how to make a model ship without a kit
I love all of your Tron shirts :)
+Zane Youmans 👍🏻👾
Beautiful! Quick question: how does Rob mount the power supply?
Thanks. Awesome video.
You should try to make a stave snare drum.
Man every vid perfect
i love this man , Good job bro
Hey Bob. I really like your channel. I always watch your videos.I have a suggestion for one, have you consider building an e-bike? or turning an old bike into an e-bike. It could be awesome to watch it. :)
This looks beautiful!
Very cool. Another great video.
+energylab227 Thank you!!
