Yea, a wooden kick pedal is a bit of an oddity, wich is why you don’t see many? I would scout someone in the classifieds in your area, show em the plans, that’s not too hard for a wood worker or handyman? Good luck on that! I’ve also seen people stomp on an empty crate without any amplification, just a thought?
Rebecca are you talking about a stompbox or stomper foot drum? You can find them all over the net, but you don’t need a wood shop to make instruments, half the builders here work off the kitchen table :) Also there is plenty of YouTube videos of how to build? Here is a kit from cbgitty, it has everything but the box as you can use any kind? It also has a preamp, wich is a must if you want control over the sound? cheers :) https://www.cbgitty.com/guitar-instrument-parts/cigar-box-guitar-parts/poor-mans-guitar-book-parts-pack-chapter-5-foot-stomper/
Recorded with a MXL 990 Microphone that I bought used off ebay for 40 bucks. Music - from the webpage https://www.reddogguitars.com There is CBGs for sale...
