I built a pedal board to use in my band (lake effect is in the band name); it’s basically a box with a slot to route power out of, and to the velcro’d down pedals on top.

It was my first time using a dremel to engrave, and I’m happy with how that turned out! I traced the characters from a print out, then engraved the outline, then the fill, then painted the inside.

The wood is stained cedar with a couple of coats of poly. The main body was put together with pocket hole joinery.

      The engraving looks really nice. The whole piece came out nicely.

    As a former guitar player my first question was what are the two pedals that create “Lake Effect” lol, then I read the description. That is such a beautiful pedal board!! Looks like there’s room for another 1, possibly 2, pedals. And I like the idea that a band’s name is not just on the bass drum lol

      That’s so sweet, thank you! But we are just playing local bars, nothing too fancy and no internet presence (yet?). It’s bluegrass, and I play banjo in it.

    I like this a lot. My pedal board is literally a 2x4 with Velcro strips that looks pretty much identical to yours. Without the cool wiring job of course.

    Rock n roll!
