Today I did a bit of work on the keyboard stack. The front pieces are done. They received a channel for the plywood base to sit in. This was done with a bit at the router table then a hammer and chisel to square the corners up. I then gave a coat of Danish Oil to finish them. The lower blocks of wood recieved a channel in as well. My aim is to build the keyboard stacks tomorrow.
The piece of veneered MDF which will be the top was also given some Danish Oil. When the keyboard stack is done I can do some cutting of the top as I want some curves along the front edge and corners.
Finally a platform was made for the FCB 1010 to sit on at a roughly 40 degree angle. It is a simple piece of plywood with some offcuts to hold the unit in place and at the height needed to clear the pedalboard frame so it sits over it.

It is starting to get there. Now to decide where things will go, where to cut curves on the top. How much to adjust the bench down, etc
