Really nice!

Nice work. I like your design especially because the MD can slip in or out, without having to use mounting screws (dangerous and inconvenient for those of us who like to use our gear in various spots). You could always use what you’ve made as a template, if you ever decide to upgrade materials.

I made these end cheecks last summer, and I like them, but I am always wishing that I could just slip them off my machines for couch sessions.

thanks for sharing the pics… I found this nteresting because this the closest I have seen to the idea I have in my head for a stand for my OT. After seeing the other threads about damage from mounting screws, I decided that I’ll avoid putting screws into the machine unless I decide to shell out for the official rack kit.

cool :slight_smile: glad its of use to you, also it was a very cheap project , couldn’t have cost any more than 2€ hehe

cheers

heart heart love … one day i will ask you for the exact measures (in cm) and angles

#12

no problem there mate, tell you how i got the right angles for my self was i sat at my desk with a piece of paper and folded it against the side of the md to find the right angles, then used it as a template, a bit like making a paper airplane :stuck_out_tongue: would be wise to try that for yourself, the rest was pretty strait forward, apart from drilling in the wrong places :stuck_out_tongue:
