I use Visio, which also has an easy way to do this. But being a math major, 50 years ago, I always use X,Y 0,0 as bottom left as is done in Trig when unraveling a circle into sine and cosine waves..... When I was in school we used graph paper and a pencil to graph quadratics..... :ROFLMAO:

Got a chance today to do some soldering with my Modded fume extractor. WORKS PERFECTLY! Pinch me I must be dreaming. Sucked up every iota of smoke there was. It occurred to me that these are normally used for lamps and that the stiffness would be improved if I filled the two gooseneck tubes...

Well I spent all my free time today wrapping this up, no time left to actually test it. But IT'S ALIVE!!! The two gooseneck tubes are very flexible and hold the weight to a certain level. If I go too low it just plops over, but this height is perfect. Used a clamp and kept the metal on the...

Did you use cutting oil when you drilled? Rubbing alcohol, or copious amounts of dish detergent should be used to remove all residue before painting.

I still have my dymo label maker from the 70's. Modern blue tooth version https://www.dymo.com/label-makers-printers/letratag-label-makers/dymo-letratag-200b-bluetooth-label-maker/SAP_2179979.html

Sounds great, somehow I missed this thread!

Due to a shipping error and a poorly trained customer service department, I have a 4' long 1200cfm stainless steel Zline hood. I had ordered the 38".... But my workshop still needs the roof repaired, which is scheduled for this summer. In the meantime......(oh that's weird, TV said "In the...

So, back to ye olde soldering fume extractor. No matter how I place this sucker there's still too much goes straight up. It occurred to me that it would be easy to get a heavy steel base and a couple 16" long flex tubes (from eBay), a couple of brackets to fabricate and I should be all set to...

I have a lemon, key lime, naval orange, tangerine, tangelo and AVOCADO trees. Hand grenade sized avocados. Freakin' huge. The key limes and lemons are on the same tree. Half and Half..... 🍻

You mean like this? lol.... It can get messy. I decided to move to a tray. This 1/4 cookie sheet seems to work fine. My turntable is literally that. It's longer than a chassis. Used to be the top of a 70's TV set cabinet. So it has room on it for the tools and the chassis.

I accidentally left a roll of this outside and it rained. When I looked at it all the gel had oozed out of the tape and dripped all over the place. One of those "ah crap" moments......

Screamin' Sicilian Pizza is the best. And they have the best cardboard cutout mustaches on the back of the box as well !!!!! One time use only, lol...

It's on the build list! Do you have a turntable under the base? I was going to use one I've had for ages. Put a knob on it so I can screw it down to stay still after positioning.

Would that be the Zefram overdrive Giga-Cochrane pedal?

You are not the only one! I use the Panavise circuit board vise for soldering board connections. I do use a grounding strap when building/repairing on PC's or building pedals boards. Not required for 500v capacitors... Some day this will be a 1959 Fender Bassman 5F6-A with a three way NFB...

So, would modifying pots be called Pottery? :sneaky: :sneaky: :sneaky:

Definitely. The Fender Tweed Deluxe, 5E3, specifies linear pots for the volume, they work MUCH better with audio taper.

You can always just disconnect the wires and measure the resistance. As you sweep the knob see if the resistance is linear or not. But schematics are much better, lol.
