So glad I found this YouTube video. This is exactly what I need for the stage. Thanks for the video. I'm struggling now to get a 29mm hole punch, but I've got the Furman strips and ready to assemble.
-
Great job, will be thinking about this for my own projects. I prefer True1 to IEC connectors for the locking functionality.

This is great. Thank you.

Very nice! Love it

Good video. FYI you can get black rivets, from your favorite online retailer of choice. Also you can get insulated faston tabs but heatshrink is fine too. The protection on those strips is pretty basic though, not much better that your average wal-mart $5 el-cheapo plastic strip, but at least it has a metal case. I'd rip out the in-built surge protecion and run the feeder to a better device, Furman makes some really good ones as do surge-x and others. Overall great video though!, thanks!

Thanks for the video! I normally work with audio but rarely with power so I def appreciate the effort you put in to this. I'm curious how you set up the guide hole for the 2nd time you do the knockout? Do you tape the paper to the box? Just eyeball it and poke a screwdriver through the center to make a scratch? Any info would be appreciated
-
Where did you order the 15/16th (24mm) knockout punch? The price you quoted on those is good. So far a new one I found cost $54.
-
I have no use for one of these, but I watched the entire video. 10/10 was better than Cats.

As far as the firman power strip. Do you recommend it for a good power strip for Musicians?
-
Nice mod, but there is a limit to how many of these you would want to daisy chain together. The feeder cable in the first unit in the chain will be bearing the total load of everything in the chain. And the Neutrik connector in the first unit will be bearing the total load of everything downstream.

Does anyone have a link as to where you can find the template drawing?
-
What size crimp connectors for the true 1 spades ?
-
halo.. this can use for guitar amp like (kemper stage OR line6 helix floor board) ???
-
So, how did you put the rivets in?
-
This would be a great video if the furman wasn't surge protected. It is not recommended to daisy chain surge protectors. Doing so puts strain against the circuits and causes the surge protectors to work against each other...putting any equipment plugged in to them at a surge risk.

L is for line, not load.
-
looks circuit that included MOV is fixed with glue. totally shit
