I bought one of the 3D printed kits from Ebay. It just needs some 25mm x 25mm stripwood and eight woodscrews. IMG-0495.png

 

I carefully cut the stripwood, 4 pieces, to the length I wanted. All good  and I used some dark mahogany wood stain I had in the garage. There was a little bit of a wobble so I unscrewed the screws slightly and pressed on two corners to try to straighten it out. CRACK!

B*gger. After calming down, I used the remainder of the wood to replace the broken brackets. I also added some feet to give an angle and some small blocks to add strength.

Adding the new side pieces adds 50mm to the width, and it is now bigger than the padded bag I keep my pedal board in!

 

Here it is with the wood colour on again:

It is really strong now, there are 75m wood screws  (8)  although I know that the adhesive should be enough on its own. 
 

I have a surprise or two tomorrow as the project progresses.
