I've finished the project! Thanks to Fred and others, now I have the one octive pedalboard which is portable and I can do the heel-toe with. These are the photos how I've done. The only thing I wonder is how sturdy this is. I don't know how strong the wood pieces and the screws hold them together. I probably shouldn't do the pedal gliss, but at least I can do the heel-toe. It's not like the full size pedalboard, so I have to compromise, but I think it's better than the original one.

Hi!
Congrats to your new pedals! You sanded them and lacquered them, looks nice! I was too lazy for that and left the keys raw....one day I will make a picture too.

Thanks Joe! How did you make yours? I thought about leaving the keys raw, but then the color of the keys were different when I made the prototype, so I decided to paint them. I only wish I could make the surface of the keys round.
By the way, I will probably move to Germany next year!

Put some self adhesive felt protectors under the ends. Saves the floor and reduces the noice.
The type you put under the legs of furniture.

I thought about it, but when I played the pedals, the ends didn't even touch the floor because the ends of the metal part of the pedals have the rubbers as you can see on the photos.
