What are you gonna do when you build more?

Let's hope its a tall room. keep adding them shelves!

I think I can put another one above the others. Or, I can start building to the right of them

Just finished this afternoon. Made some shelving out of a bunch of scrap plywood I found on the side of the road for our town's large garbage pickup day. I thought about pulling the trigger on some Ikea stuff, but this was cheaper and more fun, lol. Not really a build report, but I did DIY the crap out of this. Bare wood right now, but once the weather gets warmer I will prime and paint it. Most likely next spring.

Picture's not the greatest, but they ARE all level and even. I think I need to build a few more. This doesn't include what's on my pedalboard at the moment, lol

Looked again and I can really only put 1 more above until I need to reach in my top toes

Cats? Oh right. Yea, that’s in my effects loop right now and not waiting to be played on the shelf.

That’s one of my favorite enclosures I’ve done

I'm actually buying this in a few days. I wanted to build something with doors and LED lights but that will have to wait for another time.

I'll take out all the ICs, if needed.

Most of the 125b pedals are a litle over half a lb

Im out of floor space, guitars taking yo all the real estate. I like the idea of hanging shelves. I guess I can line all the walls in my apartment. They would really tie everything together.

@DailyDovetails not sure if the wall your guitars are hung on is an exterior wall, but I read recently the temperature change on the outside can potentially cause condensation or other temperature-related problems for guitars hung on exterior walls. Just FYI!

HVAC professional here.

If you've got condensation problems on your guitars hung on an exterior wall, that's a good indication that your problems go well beyond your guitars getting a bit wet.

If that's happening, it likely means that A) your exterior wall lacks insulation and B) your wall likely has a bunch of moisture condensing on the *inside* too.

Microbial growth becomes a concern at that point. Honestly, this is only the sort of thing one would tend to see in more humid climates. Dew point just isn't gonna get high enough in arid climates

Food for thought.

What do you do with them? I’m covered up with them sitting around in boxes.

 

[Nostradoomus]

Sell them or trade/give em away.

I'm a big fan of sheet pan storage. Any project that involves disassembly and might not get finished in one go I try and do on a sheet pan on the bench. That way if something comes up and I need the bench I can just move the pan.

I have a small rack but unfortunately it's full of the parts of an engine I tore down *cough* eight or nine years ago. I guess I need to build that engine back up so I can fill the rack with pedals.

My current pedal storage is mostly in these tool box drawers.

I spy with my little eye some pushrod tubes!

 

[giovanni]

I have been using picture frame shelves from ikea. They have a very slim profile and come in various sizes and colors. I have four now and plenty of room to add more as I make more pedals.

My vw guy status has been dormant for a long time, but there are still a few out back. There’s a crashed karmann ghia and the engineless vanagon.

You could always store them in an actual rack unit (whilst still wired into a remote switchbox!).. I'm trying to hold myself back from building another 3 or 4 of these units for myself and stacking them..
