Hi! Welcome to this video in which I show you how I build // PlayTime // Custom Gig Boards. I've used this same basic design for over 20 years, building boards for my students, many of my solo performances and public speaking engagements, and Cats Paying Dues.

If you have questions, build a board of your own, or have ideas you want to share, let me know!
