How to Build Sawtooth Shaped Wooden Side Panels for Your Synths


Jens Paldam
Published on Aug 6, 2017

"Wooden panels usually serve only one function, and that is to lend vintage class and credibility to your synthesizer, mixer, vibraphone et cetera, and maybe to be fair, they also protect the corners of your device from damage. But, I thought that it would be great to create panels, that actually had a function. The function here being holding together modular cases. Both the ones of my own cardboard design or those of my beloved Moog Mother 32’s.

Please note, These panels match the cardboard cases from my previous video, but not the Moog Mother 32s or other Moog cases. Though the shape of the panels matches, the placement of the screw holes does not. This to not step Moog too much on their toes.
