Here's part 1 of this blog. Read it to make more sense of Part 2.

I ended the last blog with the paint drying. What I didn't know was that, I used paint + primer. So I used two coats, and it turned out fine. I then decorated the board. It turned out like this:
So my next step was to use Velcro and zip ties to hold the Voodoo Labs Power Supply to the underside of the board.
I then added the Velcro to the top side of the board.
Next, I added Velcro to the underside of all my pedals. I laid them out in a pattern that would work. At this part I wish I had a bigger pedal board, but then I wouldn't be able to fit it in my SKB case.
It was at this time I realized that I used a different type of plug for my Snarling Dog's Wah-Wah pedal. On my old SKB board I used different types of connectors than the Voodoo Labs used.
To make a long story short, I talked to a few salesmen at Sam Ash, and they recommended a special 9 volt connector. I check my stash at home, and realized that I had one already. So I tested it out, and it worked on my Wah-wah. So now, I tested everything, and got it working like it should.
Now I have a working pedal board again. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. But then again, I didn't know about how to make one. I hope that musicians across the web might take a peek at my blog and be able to make some pedal boards of their own. Good luck out there.
