I'm considering making my own carpet covered case for my cd player mixer and cd control unit, mainly for ease of carrying/storage. Has anyone done this in the past? Anything I need to look out for?

I made my own.
It was pretty easy using plywood and 2by2 bracing.
I stapled thin carpet on to it.
Thin carpet is easier to bend around the corners.

I angled the display at 45 degrees for better viewing.

thats the point breaking your back, if you cant make the job easyer, make it lighter.

I have to agree with Damian on this one :sofa:

Flight cases, carpet or no carpet are quite cheap these days. Maby have a look on ebay for some cheap flight carpet cases. :)
