Greetings from Central AR, great looking stand! I know my wife would appreciate one for her Digitakt.

Thank you, I’d love to build one for you guys! PM me and maybe we can work something out.
Something I would recommand (generally speaking), if it’s possible to integrate it in your design, is leaving space under the front for some cables to pass through, so you can have another instrument right in front of your stand.
Here what I did (actually, I didn’t think about it and I’m glad this accident happened).
Your stands look great btw, congrats!

Oh right on, Thank you for sharing that!! Great way to clean up the desktop. You really did get some gears turning in my head with that.
And hey, great use of space, I dig the levels to your system.
I have equal passion for woodworking as I do music, excited to see how far I can take this.
Keep it coming!
Took a while to get around to it. It’s nothing special technically or aesthetically, but is perfect for me. A friend with a bit of woodcutting know-how (and equipment) build a little desktop stand to plan. It fits exactly across my desk and holds modules perfectly at a good angle for easy access (no more hunching over!). The keyboards and Tascam recorder can slide in and out underneath.
The whole thing was made from offcuts and took about an hour.

Made this nifty little stand for tilting the mpc. Also height adjustable depending on how it’s used. In all honesty, probably one of my better woodworking projects from over the years.

Isn’t that 2 pieces of wood duct taped together?

Not just any wood. That’s good quality, kiln dried kindling!
Edit: thinking about setting up an etsy store. Reckon I could churn out several per day.

I mean…. It’s a really good duct tape job!
I think you have a big seller on your hands! Don’t overwork yourself though. Maybe plan to only make one a day, quality craftsmanship takes time!

Yah I’ve gotta be careful - if you look closely at the left side you’ll see where I messed up with the tape.

Yeah, that’s why I recommended slowing it down. No need for mishaps like that on an otherwise pristine piece of craftsmanship!

Apologies if there’s a better thread for this.
I’m looking for a stand (either custom or existing) to house my Heat + Thyme. Both are very similar in width (Thyme’s a hair more narrow), though Heat is clearly deeper.
Here’s a photo for referencing:

Has anybody built a frame/case style stand out of Hex Plywood?
Would be nice to make a more bespoke stand out of oak, but equally would be more of a shame to mess up a nicer material and there are usually offcuts available of plywood.
I’m thinking about building a frame stand for the Maschine+ (to start with). I’ve made racks, a production desk, some other prototypes for stuff in the past, but partly inspired by the stand in the link below and Jef Gibbons’ studio, i’d like one with a wrist pad on it for the retro MPC look.
This looks similar to the Fonik stands, but the measure will obviously need adjusting for wrist pad and perhaps Deckstand. Also the written measures for the sides don’t tally up with the drawing, so worth double checking if anyone else uses it to make one.

Anyway, will Hex Ply be a dirt magnet? Or, can a sticky vinyl be applied to regular ply, if hex isn’t suitable?
This is not a custom stand, but one of the best solutions I’ve seen and the one I’m using for all my second level/tier equipment on my desk now:
It’s an Amazon laptop stand, super nice build quality, very sturdy, and it has the advantage that tilt and height of the stand can be freely adjusted, which is very nice and was a major bother with other stands (even custom made ones) that I had. I have four of these (paid 22€ each 
), with an A4 mk1, an OT mk2, a Dreadbox Erebus, and a Dreadbox Nyx on them.
I’m so happy and excited about how well these work that I thought I’d share it here.
Here a few pictures to give you an idea of how they fit:

I agree! I have a different version of that one (I’m in the US) but these are so flexible as gear stands. I like that it allows me to match the height of all my gear, which may sound obsessive (because it is).
