Homebrew Micromonsta stand.
There’s a large rubber ball under the cover that I can move around to adjust the incline. It’s much more enjoyable to work with this way.
The texture of the Dog Man book cover is perfect against the feet of the MM. Doesn’t slide at all.

Can’t go wrong with a bent book-end and Velcro.

A couple of rack cases. Nothing special. Easiest things to make. The one with the mixer has a slanted section and a straight section for ergonomics.

Three recent builds. A two ring modulators in one box thing. A matrix mixer. And a modular utility box for my mb2s with a couple of joysticks (among other things) salvaged from a smashed stereo receiver that was laying in the road.

Little noise maker in a bandaid box.
Casio mt40. Halfway between circuit bent and properly modded. Sleng Teng riddim machine for those familiar with the digital dub scene.
The brain for my recently built electronic drum kit. Alligator clip friendly interface for mangling audio. I’ll take a pic of the kit next time I’m where it is.

A DIY stand (Aluminium + wood) for my setup.
I’m now able to move it around the house, with only a power cable to plug/unplug !

Headphone hanger. Just a couple of old trophies from a garage sale screwed into a board.
Three guitar stand made of some alder left over from a furniture build at work. This was meant to be a prototype but I’m lazy sometimes and it’s good enough.
A couple of pedals I threw together. The yellow one is based on about two thirds of a vintage rat circuit board I found in a dumpster long ago. Rebuilt it and added a feedback circuit. The other is a feedback loop pedal I built inspired by the dba tsa but expanded on.
Rack mount reverb made from a broken lamp, small speaker transducer, a cheap headphone amp, and some contact mics.

I made a passive switch that routes two samplers ins to the others outs and vice versa for quick bouncing back and forth. Works great and elevates swapping cables and the dreaded jam killing wake the family feedback. My drilling was off for couple RCAs but only had one 1590A at the time so I let my OCD make an exception.

5y ago I made a RPi + SunVox based synthesizer cased in a wine-bottle case. The most funny 2 weeks I had in my whole DIY life. Unfortunatelly I’m not using it much in production but it’s nice to fire it off every now and then.


Later it was followed by yet another project combining RPi, Axoloti and Goom synth. More of a mini synth-workstation.

Very cool stand. Looking for something like that myself.

Can you tell what the aluminium shelves are?
Would you share the measurements of the side panels?

Could never find stands that were tall enough, so got a heavy duty curtain rod and there you go.
