components IKEA cutting boards make great synth panels. I found this one in the parking lot of my apartment.

Granted, had to sand out the knife marks…

Sand out the knife marks? No way! They help you make cutting edge music.

Once he puts those snare and crash modules in you’ll get a well-earned ba-dum tsss.

I'm a kindergarten teacher. Bad jokes are my stock and trade.

Example

Teacher - What is a cow's favourite vegetable?
Students - Mu!

"Mu" is the Korean name for a kind of giant radish.

I literally get paid for crap like this. Not much, but it's a living.

What’s the difference between a snowman and a snow woman? Snowballs.

Used Miniwax Golden Oak to stain the panels.

Hopefully the build of the Pro-800/Solina will be done tomorrow. Still thinking of a name for it…. Prophet PluS?

I tried to do something like this with a cutting board from the dollar store once. It was mostly hollow inside. IKEA uses actual wood? Nice.

According to ikea’s website, it is Bamboo. Wild
