Easy DIY Roland Boutique Wood Side Panels

Made from a Lidl Prawn Packet


Being a massively picky individual I found the colour scheme on the SH01a with the keyboard attachment didn't quite look correct, so decided to build some new wooden side panels for it.  

Luckily an old box from a Lidl packet of frozen prawns managed to fit perfectly = a Lidl & Roland collaboration perhaps?  If you ever read any youtube comments about the Boutiques you might think the whole range was already co-designed by Lidl.  I really like them for what it's worth!

DIY Air Cooler

For a while there the weather in Europe was going mental.  Being British, anything above 15 degrees results in me becoming a sweaty mess.  The answer was to build a DIY air cooler.  It's literally a pc fan sucking air into a lunch box, passing over some ice cubes, and then blowing out of some old camera film canisters.  For safety I added a fuse should the ice and psu unexpectedly meet.

Blow me away
