Idea For Pedalboard-design? Options

[mhskeide]

Hi guys

I am finally about to start gigging with my surf rock band, and I`m planning to build me a pedalboard. At the same time, we`re reducing a four man punkrock band to a trio, which means I need to expand my sound as a bass player a little.

I would like to build the board myself because I work at a shop which gives me nice prices on most of the material, and I think that the "complete" pedalboards you can buy for 5 pedals or more are way too expensive.

The main idea is that it must be easy to change the pedals, since I will use the same board both for bass and guitar gigs, and I will not build it large enough to contain both sets of pedals at once Though, some of the pedals (such as tuner etc.) will be used for both instruments.

Does anybody has some drawings or such I can borrow some ideas from? It doesn`t need to be built like a tanks since I won`t be tossing it from high buildings or so, but It must be solid enoiugh to transport at least
While I`m at it, are there some things I should be very attentive on? Like powersupply, AC/DC or whatever?
