Thanks for watching and commenting! We have a lot of Ryobi tools in our shop!

Rockout Videography, I was wondering what your favourite power tools are, 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Great job BTW.

[@rockoutvideography91]

Thanks for watching and commenting! My 3 favorite tools for these DIY projects are my RYOBI chop saw, my RYOBI drill, and my RYOBI brad nailer. They all use the same battery power packs and are super handy and convenient to use. I have used these 3 tools to build all of my pedal boards and the DIY acoustic treatment you see in the studio. It's not because I am some kind of expert who has tried all the brands and thinks RYOBI is the best, it's because I got a good deal on the drill at Home Depot, and happened by coincidence to get the chop saw and some additional RYOBI tools used from a friend who was upgrading to a AC powered saw. When it was time to get a brad nailer, I decided the battery powered version would be more convenient than dealing with air hoses or power cables. Since I already had batteries for RYOBI tools, the choice was simple. I also have a small RYOBI hand held circular saw that came with the chop saw and is also super handy for quick cuts.

Cool lego guitar in the background 🎸

Thanks!

Love this man. Great job. Will be building something like this this weekend. Could totally get one from Amazon, but so much more unique and fun to DIY. Challenge now is to find a good case!

[@rockoutvideography91]

I really enjoy making my own stuff. I'm gald you found the video helpful. Let us all know how your's turns out. Thanks for watching and commenting!

If you transport your gear regularly, it might be worth building a matched cover for the top and back so that your gear is protected when transporting.

[@rockoutvideography91]

That's a great idea. I have also thought that there's probably some kind shoulder bag on Amazon that might work if I search long enough. This board mostly stays at home. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

Cool looking pedal board. As far as transporting the pedal board from place to place, do you have a box or bag to stick it in?

[@rockoutvideography91]

Since I'm not a gigging guitar player (I'm mostly a bass player) I'm not worried about transporting it much. I just use the handle to pick it up and move it around. If I do take it somewhere, I'm not really worried about pedals falling off. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, much appreciated!

Thank you so much for this video. I really like how yours turned out and i think i'll make one like it too. Just curious how much did it take you to buy all the materials at home depot, if you can recall?

[@rockoutvideography91]

Sorry, I don't remember exactly what the cost of the materials was. Lumber has gotten much more expensive in the last few years than it used to be. I also have a lot of stuff in the shop, like velcro, paint, nails, screws and glue that I have collected over the years and may have used, so it's hard to say from memory exactly what the cost was. I have been improving my designs and have built a couple more boards in the last few months. If you go to our DIY playlist you can find the episodes about them. I'm using much thinner boards for the cross pieces now and also use strap handles, like the ones on guitar amps. I still get everything from Home Depot and Amazon. The board in this episode isn't necessarily cheaper to build than buying a comercial board, but with some simpler design and less materials, I think you can probably build your own functional board cheaper than you can buy one. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, we really appreciate it.

I have built my pedalboard I will build my next one as well. I pefer to build it myself as I can get the size, design and layout jus as I want it.

[@rockoutvideography91]

I have to admit that I have been a bit obsessed with DIY pedal boards lately. We enjoyed making the kid's xmas boards, and I just finished my latest bass pedalboard. Thanks for the comment!

[@Isabel-jx2ty]

Hi Tim did you use a 9volt fueltank for all the pedals? Because I got about the same setup as you and got a hummy sound. I had to take of the earth (ground) to get rid of it. Now I use 3 transformers and it works. What is you experience.😂

[@rockoutvideography91]

So far we have been using these same sheap power supplies on 3 different pedal boards and have not ahd any issues. Thanks for the comment!
