After moving into a rental home I was determined to put my studio back together. I couldn't put it together in a fixed console I'd have to take out when we moved so I had to come up with something portable.
It took me a month or so to draw up the plans because once it's built it's built and there's nothing you can do to change it.
I wanted something functional and at the same time pleasant to look at. I bought 3/4 inch Oak plywood trimmed it with solid white Oak.
Certain areas would be hidden because of the way it sits so I didn't labor over every area of each section to make sure it was perfect. At the time I was needing to get it built so I could start recording.
This is the left section which houses all the electronics such as the sound board, ADAT, QSR sound module and so on. I knew there would be something I'd miss or needed to do but again I didn't let it bother me. If I build another one I'll add a small door on the side to make it easier to plug wires in from the back of each sound module.
The right side of the console houses paperwork and CD material while this side, the left, is for electronics. Each is angled so they site apart with a plywood, oak trimmed board laying across and over my electric piano.
The Oak plywood with Meranti and white Oak trim holds my two computer screens very well over the piano.

Right side again houses paperwork and computer.
If I were to build this for someone it could be to their specifications and I estimate it's worth to be $750.00.
