I would never try to dissuade someone from a good D.I.Y. project, but since you asked - It's a piece with a lot of complex cuts (outer edges and inside holes), and 914 rubber has the boards in stock for $37.50 http://shop.914rubber.com/Plywood-floor-bo...nly-914FB-P.htm
If you want to do it to see if you can do it, and you've already got the plywood stock, paint, and a jigsaw, go right ahead. Otherwise, I'd spend the money for one someone else has already figured out how to make, and concentrate my efforts elsewhere. |

A lot of guys do it. If you use boutique stomp boxes it can get expensive though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I did mine with a router and alu honeycomb. Can't find the photos, but I posted them a couple years back. No one seemed too thrilled 'cept moi. Strong and light though. Downside is you have to make hard points for the screws. |

Not super hard, by the time you buy the wood, and set up a pattern, you'll have an afternoon into it. So, if you're just looking for cheap therapy, it's not a hard task. Enjoy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I made a pedal board a while back from plywood and made it in 2 pieces that screwed together. Very easy to install and remove.
