2022 and just seen this video. Got to hand it to your wife for being innovated using hand tools and improvising measurements! I am 60 years old and I did all my wood working with just hand tools. Until just a few years ago did I get some power tools. Why did I not do this sooner? Circular saw, reciprocating saw, got to have to save your back and time! Hand router and orbital sander also. Along with a good square and straight edge. Table saw would be nice but not everyone has room for one. These power tools are needed if you want to save your back, and wrist. I just want to point out, a good hand saw comes in handy for the small jobs. Oh and one other tip, when spray painting or any painting, use gloves!
+whyshouldidothatnow Its actually something different. The GORM is discontinued and the Hejne is similar to it. Thanks for the advice though, I bought one on your recommendation
You are a champion! I bought a Hejne the other week thanks to your clarification and now I've just about finished the board it. Setup is actually easier than what he did in this video and it looks killer!!!
Just want to say thanks for this video. Used it pretty much all the way to make mine last week. After experiencing how fun and rewarding making my own was, I'm convinced I will never buy anything professionally made. Save well over $100 dollars making mine in what felt like under 2 hours of actual work. There are plenty of videos using the same IKEA HEJNE shelves you used, but I love the detail in this one. Thanks again for saving potentially hundreds of dollars for me in the future! Rock On!
The most important factor that most of these you tubers fail to mention is the size of the pedal board. If you are planning on ever taking it out for jams or gigs, you will surely need a bag. Pedal board bags only come in standard Pedal train sizes. I made a 65x30 pedalboard from these Ikea shelves after watching these videos, only to find out later that most bags come in the max size of 60x25 lol. If you are building one, I'd suggest buying the bag first and then diy-ing one to fit it.
Hey! Thanks for the video! I plan on building one of these this summer!! Good looking pedal board and good looking wife. Good for you on both of those. I hope she got her nails done and shoes for helping. I will be using your video as a reference when I do make mine. Have a great one!
Such nice pedal board and cheap. However, since you mentioned to make the board bigger for future expansion/upgrade of pedals, it would be a better idea to use a t-rex fueltank for power supply. I dont know if they sell them in Netherlands but it is a must have if you use multiple pedals. All in all, great stuff! Thanx for sharing.
Good video, just a note for anyone trying this. Get a workbench or some way to clamp the wood down, to saw safely. A saw can slip and your limbs are a little too precious to injure so permanently.. so health and safety first..
Ik had ongeveer het zelfde gemaakt van plankjes van 9,4 cm breed. Maar omdat dat best hoog is uiteindelijk vind ik dat weer te hoog voor een wah pedaal dus die doe ik dan wel op de grond plaatsen denk ik.
Dillon Guelich thank you! But I wish the shipping charge wasn't so crazy. A $9 purchase turns into an almost $20 purchase. I guess it's still cheaper and more fun than buying a premade pedalboard
even over het EHX pedaal. ik heb er 2 de bass big muff pi en de enigma Q balls en deze werken zowel op de bijgeleverde adapter als op een losse koop adapter. weet jij of dit complicaties kan opleveren? top video btw zeer mooi gemaakt. waar kan ik zoveel klitteband halen? ook bij ikea?
Great tutorial!! (Belg hier ;) ) You showed us how seperate adapters fit underneath the board with the white unit. Is it possible to mount a voodoo power plus 2 (multi adapter) the same why like the white power unit? Thanks for the help!
Awesome video man! I just went to Ikea today and picked up the shelves to build the board with a friend! I have a quick question: What did you use for your backboard which elevated the back of the board and also acted as the piece you connected with the power strip? Was it one of the 3 long pieces on the 2nd board that came with the set?
So ended up acquiring wife as instructed in the video, but oddly instead of building me a pedal board she got pregnant and made me build a crib. Any ideas? Is mine malfunctioning?
I had the same problem with a woodsplitter i got, it was a 65" model, looked really good and stacked the firewood as well. It was also cheap to run and worked great for the first couple of years, but it got clogged up from the stuff I was filling it with and the obstetrician had to take it apart to get the obstruction out. Twice! I'm still splitting my own wood nine years later...
@@thatellipsisguy8984 You gotta wait I'd say another couple of years, and then take the obstruction out one Saturday morning and teach it to chop wood while you sit on a stump and drink beer. Be encouraging and proud when it succeeds. Don't give it too hard of a time when it fails, just show it what it did wrong and tell it try again.
this video rocks, i'm about to make one for my boyfriend for his b day. Also- people, get over it! His wife built it, so what? she likes projects and if she can do a better job at it than he can then why the hell not?! It's pretty great how they were able to work together on this because she probably needed his help (with instructions) just as much as he needed help building it sheesh
Damn it man! You have $300 dollars worth of effects and you can't buy your wife a $45 skill saw. Nice demo but get the girl some tools for Christ sake.
What I see in this DIY video is not a good pedalboard, I see an amazing wife who is lacking the right tools and still gets things done. You are one lucky man. Cherish this woman.
A good tip when sawing wood by hand is to mark the line you're cutting by with a knife. This severs the grain fibers and gives a path of least resistance for the saw to follow. Much easier and more accurate than the eyeball method. Additionally, when gluing wood together, it's best to glue surfaces that do not have an sort of coating on them. Otherwise the glue doesn't provide any structural rigidity. Glue needs a rough surface to adhere properly.
Great project, thanks! Just a tip, if your wife is going to build things like this for you, maybe you could run out and get her some of the right tools for the job. Watching you guys rip that board with a handsaw was painful, followed by turning a bolt with an adjustable wrench...
Thank you for this very helpful tutorial. My son wants a pedal board and my eyes rolled when he showed me the price ! Off to Ikea and now a happy teenager and dad with his pocket intact. Hats off to your wife, the noble lady who did the sawing, drilling, etc, very impressive and puts me to shame. Thank you again from London, UK
Be advised that this project has recently (last 2 months) become somewhat more difficult. IKEA Hejne shelves (the replacement for the discontinued Gorm shelves) - have been re-spec'ed to use a heavier-gauge nail. This makes disassembly of the shelves nearly impossible without damaging them. Your best hope is to use a rubber mallet instead of a claw hammer - but this requires the delivery of quite a lot of force.
thanx for this great tutorial man!! helped alot and ur soo lucky for having such beautiful and awesome wife wish in the future i could have wife helps me with my guitars and pedals
wow barefoot and holding wood while sawing, dumb idea. neat video, but another reason why European power supplies suck. I think if you go on amazon and buy a joyo power tank you'll have one master plug and power everything.
thanks! as a 15 year old who doesnt have money to spend on a pedaltrain (because i spent it all on a peavey 6534) this is very useful, i told the rhythm guitarist in my band to build one and he is building it now... its very sturdy and of course since it is wood it is very easy to mod, thanks!
Did it ever occur to any of the haters that: - the lady made you watch it? - the guy who gets monthly income out of this is me? - it was actually a very fun couple's activity - who was responsible for camera work, planning and producing? NP though, I bet you feel very masculine posting those anonymous comments. Good for you! Have a great day.
I'm in love, that woman is the maximum lol xD. Lucky you. I was thinking about buying a pedaltrail-3, but after seeing this, I do not think it does. I love the wood. thanks for the video.!
European guys rock! Who else could get a girl to go all lumberjack and stuff on their hubby's guitar gear; barefoot too!! JJ, nice tutorial. Good job to you both. I was gonna be lazy and buy a new pedaltrain but nope, I'm making my new one, barefoot btw ;)
I honestly can not believe you are making you wife do all the work while you hold the camera, it's almost as frustrating as that jazz/blues guitar in the back ground. What a man.
How to build a pedal board:
Step 1: Tell your girlfriend to do it.
2022 and just seen this video. Got to hand it to your wife for being innovated using hand tools and improvising measurements! I am 60 years old and I did all my wood working with just hand tools. Until just a few years ago did I get some power tools. Why did I not do this sooner? Circular saw, reciprocating saw, got to have to save your back and time! Hand router and orbital sander also.

I just want to point out, a good hand saw comes in handy for the small jobs. Oh and one other tip, when spray painting or any painting, use gloves!
Yay wife that builds pedalboards! Sweet!
Tip: In some countries IKEA Gorm is called IKEA Hejne :)
+whyshouldidothatnow Its actually something different. The GORM is discontinued and the Hejne is similar to it. Thanks for the advice though, I bought one on your recommendation
+Klaas H I bought Hejne too, but haven't got time to check it yet. I suppose you are right. I'm glad that Hejne is similar anyway.
whyshouldidothatnow THANK YOU SO MUCH IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY I COULDN'T FIND IT! Thank you!!!☺️
You are a champion! I bought a Hejne the other week thanks to your clarification and now I've just about finished the board it. Setup is actually easier than what he did in this video and it looks killer!!!
Seriously, she did a REALLY nice job!! Well done!!
Just want to say thanks for this video. Used it pretty much all the way to make mine last week. After experiencing how fun and rewarding making my own was, I'm convinced I will never buy anything professionally made. Save well over $100 dollars making mine in what felt like under 2 hours of actual work. There are plenty of videos using the same IKEA HEJNE shelves you used, but I love the detail in this one. Thanks again for saving potentially hundreds of dollars for me in the future! Rock On!
This is a really great build idea. Thinking about doing it myself.
I thought the bit about different colored zip-ties was pretty funny.
Dude, you have a great wife, a cool pedal board, and apparently a great music collection! (Best part of the video was the tunes!)
The most important factor that most of these you tubers fail to mention is the size of the pedal board. If you are planning on ever taking it out for jams or gigs, you will surely need a bag.

JJ Tanis A Skill Saw, Saws All, etc. would make your life easier
Maaan, this is super cool, it's so simple and awesome at the same time. I wish I did something like this one day. A++ for your project!
Gorm shelves are renamed to Hejne!
Just bought it at IKEA today. Going to build me one also... :D
great tutorial! nice pedal board for a fraction of the cost, i can't wait to try it myself
Such nice pedal board and cheap. However, since you mentioned to make the board bigger for future expansion/upgrade of pedals, it would be a better idea to use a t-rex fueltank for power supply.

Today its renamed in "HEJNE" no longer GORM
You hero. I looked everywhere before I came across this comment!
actually.... its different. Hejne are a little smaller. Doesnt matter for pedalboards, you can use both. But its not the same. :D
Psychedelta Blues that's true. but I think they're the only shelves that even come close to the same one.
Which size hejne shelf will work? There's two sizes online.
ELBARTO138 depends on the amount of pedals you'd want to mount.
Spoiler,
stick some velcro on a board
Your wife is awesome! Thanks for this, I guess I'll be heading to Ikea pretty soon!
The dawn of modern man, lol!! excellent vid. As are all ur videos.
Great.. amazing diy ikea pedalboard !
The scissors and orange tool kit are Ikea aswell!!!
awesom bro!! my next project, and my wife is handy tool girl 2!!!! ;)
great vid....one of the best diy's I've seen.
Nice work and great playing
Fuzz Face Input into MXR Input. Interesting how this works.
I think i need to get a new wife...
I hope your wife never saw that.
ReZanimate yeah seriously😂😂😂😂
I like your pedals.
Ik had ongeveer het zelfde gemaakt van plankjes van 9,4 cm breed. Maar omdat dat best hoog is uiteindelijk vind ik dat weer te hoog voor een wah pedaal dus die doe ik dan wel op de grond plaatsen denk ik.
Very helpful thanks JJ
great idea! Unfortunately, Ikea has discontinued selling the GORM in my area...
Dillon Guelich thank you! But I wish the shipping charge wasn't so crazy. A $9 purchase turns into an almost $20 purchase. I guess it's still cheaper and more fun than buying a premade pedalboard
you can see who has the balls in this relationship
even over het EHX pedaal. ik heb er 2 de bass big muff pi en de enigma Q balls en deze werken zowel op de bijgeleverde adapter als op een losse koop adapter. weet jij of dit complicaties kan opleveren? top video btw zeer mooi gemaakt. waar kan ik zoveel klitteband halen? ook bij ikea?
oh damn ik had niet eens door dat je Nederlands was haha, je praat goed engels! nice one
Great tutorial!! (Belg hier ;) ) You showed us how seperate adapters fit underneath the board with the white unit. Is it possible to mount a voodoo power plus 2 (multi adapter) the same why like the white power unit? Thanks for the help!
Very nice video dude.. inspiration 👍
and acustic simlator AC 2, my amp is one SMARVO 2-100 GT-12 8....
Awesome video man! I just went to Ikea today and picked up the shelves to build the board with a friend! I have a quick question: What did you use for your backboard which elevated the back of the board and also acted as the piece you connected with the power strip? Was it one of the 3 long pieces on the 2nd board that came with the set?
cool. Any thoughts of what you might carry that in to go gigging?
"So dear, you will make all the hardware job and i'll do the cheese soundtrack"
Aha, like the Slow Dancing in a Burning Room interpretation
Pretty cool 😎
Fantastic!!!!
great vid!
Mooi gemaakt, maar waar vervoer je hem nu in?
woooooow what a girl...!!!!she is awesome
i know right? she's a keeper, hope he treats her like a queen. bet he does.
What a wife!
lol in the end you did all the work by your self!! lol where is your lazy wife?lol just kidding brother, nice job
you've got a wonderful wife )))
tastes like Eric Jonson or Andy Timmons pedal board :]
What are the little rubber feet called?
Ha Ha, Looks like your wife did most of the hard work!... Rock on!
nice work but ..a pedal board this size nowdays has around 20-30euros
You had YOUR WIFE rip a board lengthwise?! What's the matter with you? Get a table saw!! I have one!! ;-)
Klopt het dat de Gorm uit de handel is? Kan 'm op de site van Ikea nergens vinden...
En ik wilde net een gorm-board in een DAP showmaster case bouwen!
They renamed it. It's HEJNE now.
You're my hero... Srsly, in 2000 yrs time people will kill in your name, even though I inteded to inspire them with your wisdom! Sorry for that
What's the width of the front board? Nice looking pedalboard, by the way.
So ended up acquiring wife as instructed in the video, but oddly instead of building me a pedal board she got pregnant and made me build a crib. Any ideas? Is mine malfunctioning?
zaqintosh best comment ever! Hahahaha!!!

Imagine if IKEA just made a pedalboard.
blackknightkanos you'd still have to make it yourself
@@colin1891 without screws and manual
This is not DIY, is LYWDI: Let Your Wife Do It...
Great board!
Roberto Vargas respect women
I wonder how much she would charge to build me one?
this video rocks, i'm about to make one for my boyfriend for his b day. Also- people, get over it!

It's pretty great how they were able to work together on this because she probably needed his help (with instructions) just as much as he needed help building it sheesh
***** "great project to do as a couple"... except you didn't really do anything, she did it all.
The problem isn't with her doing it so much as the guy not being man enough to be anymore than a personal purse carrier.
austinfailz
I guess You didn't watch the whole video, right ;)
mine turned out very nice
+JJ Tanis you couldn't risk damaging your fingers, who would play the lovely background music! 😉
Damn it man! You have $300 dollars worth of effects and you can't buy your wife a $45 skill saw. Nice demo but get the girl some tools for Christ sake.
Alexaxe333 my skilsaw cost $12 at the pawn shop. New blade was ~$5. Boom.
What I see in this DIY video is not a good pedalboard, I see an amazing wife who is lacking the right tools and still gets things done. You are one lucky man. Cherish this woman.
Oh Man...she is gorgeous!..........................Uhm...I meant the Pedal Board...;)
Great tutorial, even greater wife.
I need both.
You need a shower, deodorant, and cologne first.
austinfailz lol

Love how you got the wife to basically build it all haha, well played their mate ;)
*there
Can't find in IKEA a slave girl i need to exploit to build this stupid thing. Have you bought it in a bundle?
DIY = Do It YourWife
Great project, thanks! Just a tip, if your wife is going to build things like this for you, maybe you could run out and get her some of the right tools for the job. Watching you guys rip that board with a handsaw was painful, followed by turning a bolt with an adjustable wrench...
Dude. why is your wife doing all the work???

Wow, INVU!
Does she play drums or bass too for you? Some guys have all the luck in the world indeed. Cheers :)
thanx for this great tutorial man!! helped alot
and ur soo lucky for having such beautiful and awesome wife
wish in the future i could have wife helps me with my guitars and pedals
com`on man....you play the guitar...you should do everything by yourself...with your hands...
Nice vid.....cons to your wife!
Haha, the only person besides me that I've knew who eats banana and coffee.
wow barefoot and holding wood while sawing, dumb idea. neat video, but another reason why European power supplies suck. I think if you go on amazon and buy a joyo power tank you'll have one master plug and power everything.
Joyo power supplies lie to you. They are not isolated. They are a glorified daisy chain. Don't pay more for what you can get from a 1 spot.
Excellent tutorial...and you wife is very cute!
+JJ Tanis he's hitting on your girl, bro!
Kick his Ass!
Brian Baker wtf dude
+inutil suverzivo never heard of things called 'complimets' before? He was just being nice.
sorry in my country is just awkward to compliment someone elses wife but i understand its ok in other cultures
jajaja, Don't speak bad about him. He works hard too at 5:58.
Hahahahahaha such a shame
That's true, he almost passed out from the effort hahahahaha
Nothing says my balls are in a jar in my wife's purse more than my wife built my pedal board while I watched.
thanks! as a 15 year old who doesnt have money to spend on a pedaltrain (because i spent it all on a peavey 6534) this is very useful, i told the rhythm guitarist in my band to build one and he is building it now... its very sturdy and of course since it is wood it is very easy to mod, thanks!
exactly, with wood you can try many things, and even build another one if the first isn't good.
Your wife should have done the video she did a good job on the rest.
i completely thought the guy had his toenails painted the entire time, because for the first 5 minuets of building they only showed the builders feet.
...and you at what time are you going to work? , we only saw your wife working hard. Sorry, you work very hard in the minute 5:57....
Years later and I'm still coming back and watching this vid. It's like calming and meditative on top of a good tutorial.
LOL I love how the wife does all the work! hehe
That's how we do that in Holland! ;-)
like with everything you can get at ikea, quickly dispose of it in the correct rubbish bin.... your life (& wife) will appreciate it...
I’m so happy for your pedalboard and for your wife who do everything what you want))
Did it ever occur to any of the haters that:
- the lady made you watch it?
- the guy who gets monthly income out of this is me?
- it was actually a very fun couple's activity
- who was responsible for camera work, planning and producing?
NP though, I bet you feel very masculine posting those anonymous comments. Good for you! Have a great day.
I'm in love, that woman is the maximum lol xD. Lucky you.
I was thinking about buying a pedaltrail-3, but after seeing this, I do not think it does. I love the wood.
thanks for the video.!
I personally like the way metal looks over wood....
she will be assisting me... what a joke, she did all the job!
Behind every great man there's a super handy woman. :D
Your wife is a pretty damn good DIY'er!
Thanks! I was exactly looking for something like this, you made my day!
you have a cool wife man!! and nice pedal board.. up for you!!
Always let your girlfriend do the handwork
Thanks for posting this JJ. Great tutorial and Great cost effective alternative to the pedal train type ready made pedal boards.
European guys rock! Who else could get a girl to go all lumberjack and stuff on their hubby's guitar gear; barefoot too!!
JJ, nice tutorial. Good job to you both. I was gonna be lazy and buy a new pedaltrain but nope, I'm making my new one, barefoot btw ;)
It's amazing! You and you're wife together building and shooting for your pedalboard! You're a lucky guy!!!
You have a saw that is aprox 20 inches long and only use 4 inches of it....lol... good video tho and thanks.. :)
I honestly can not believe you are making you wife do all the work while you hold the camera, it's almost as frustrating as that jazz/blues guitar in the back ground. What a man.
I do like the guitar around 13.00 minutes.
***** That may be the case but at least buy her a jigsaw. No one likes having to saw through lengths of wood.
