So I finally got off my ass and brought my design to life. I had a little free time and decided it was time to get this project complete. Some of you may remember my Axe Fx rack piece I made a few years back, and I said then I was working on an Argosy type design for my board. Well she is finished and installed. There were a few new challenges, and techniques I had to learn, but all in all I am very pleased with the results. I need to get a couple of power conditioners for each side, and there is plenty of rack space for expansion. On to the pics.

All in and working! From start to finish 2 weeks, and less than $500 in materials and hardware. Some things of note. All armrests can be removed. the center desk pieces can be removed. 22ru in each side car.Last edited by veemagic; 04-05-2014, 12:31 AM."I have so much gayness at times.

Thanks guys! It's really comfortable, and I really like the angles for the rack gear. The cool thing is if I ever get a different board, all I have to do is change the middle pieces. The length and height, and in can custom fit for just about anything. I don't want to think about changing my board. I absolutely love my SX1. Of course it's been discontinued since 2005, but for me it's perfect."I have so much gayness at times.

That's incredibly nice! Do you also build road cases? Perhaps something for a Jackson Rhoads?
