Custom Flight Case Build for the Concertmate MG-1 Synthesizer by Moog

Here I am building a custom flight case for my realistic concertmate mg-1 synthesizer by moog. this was my first ever flight case build. the case is custom fitted (note angles) for the MG-1. supplies i used: 1/8" plywood, wood glue, nail gun and nails, jigsaw with fine wood cut blade, belt sander, poly urethane, some L brackets for additional structural support on the inside of the box, enclosing extrusions, 3/16" 18v drill and carbide drill bit, pop rivet gun and alluminum 3/16" rivets, removable hinges, latches and spring loaded handle and mattress foam dyed with RIT fabric dye. all external hardware came from www.reliablehardware.com. to be honest, some of their hardware was a little bit shitty.

You legend! I've really wanted to see how to go about building a box for my own synth (Korg Monopoly). Good Job

Where did you get the closing extrusions?

LOL... some of Reliable Hardware's stuff was shitty!! What in particular, because I wanted to order from them. Great idea with dying mattress foam with dye. I've thought of this before and didn't know how well the foam would take the dye. But if you'd do it for a Moog, I'll certainly do it for my stage lighting flight cases.

How much did that cost you all together, and how many hours of labor did you put it?

Used Reliable Hardware for my hardware too - great source!
