How to Make a Pedal Board Out of an Old Briefcase

Step 4 Attach the foam and Stick the Pedals on...

The only soft foam I could find was at Home Depot for about $5. It was meant to be insulation for a window A/C unit. I cut it up and used a staple gun to staple it on. I used the foam both to cover the sharp end of the screws for the hinges and also on the other section of the briefcase so I could just close the briefcase without worrying about the pedals shaking around inside. With the foam, the pedals are secure when I close it.

my briefcase which i got from a goodwill for $4 does not have wood on the sides. Instead it just has a thick liner and heavy leather outer-layer. So i had to put a thin piece of wood over that to have a sturdy base for the pedals
