Hey Dave,
 At first I just looked at and admired the nice workmanship... then I realized it was an old school bass pedal.

 I could jam in Am with that and I wouldn't while I'm waiting for bapsi to come visit.


 Scary.

 You gave me gas.

 :-)

That's neat, like you got it from a store.
Good job, fellow Air Forcian.

How much are the plans and material list?

I'm curious what materials you used and how the bends were made.

Haha.  I'd have to go back and measure what I did.  I was kind of designing as I went along.


I use a professional grade heat strip made for bending plastic.  I do this sort of thing for a living ( Plastics America ).  If you visit the site you will even get to see my video.  


EDIT:  I realized I forgot to mention the materials.  The black material is call ABS. (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)  The beige material is called Starboard.  Its a high density polyethylene material that I sell to boaters to replace wood.

I know about that. I've made 2 work stations that way.
 
My 1st was in 1990. It was thrown together as a quick and dirty prototype in my garage and never got finished:
 

 
Had to sell the whole lot when I was out of work for a while.
