80% of Pedal Building is...

[Stickman393]

Pedal building is 80% digging through the mess you've allowed to accumulate going "fucking cunt fuck dicknose fuck, where the FUCK are those 1.27mm pin headers I bought five years ago...."

Somewhere in that pile is a headstock

 

[ICTRock]

I can't believe stickwoman hasn't made you clean that up

 

[Stickman393]

Stickwife is a doll. Love her.

We have an agreement that I contain my mess to a single room. That, and that I make her coffee.

The only reason I got into making PCBs was so that I could avoid all the off-board wiring needed for vero.

even when I'm building PCBs, for some reason prepping the wiring always makes me anxious
maybe I need to switch to solid core wire

Does sorting through the big Mouser box once it arrives count as part of “procurement”?
Because that’s the bit that always takes me lots of time, and floor space!
...

ABSOLUTELY, in my opinion.

Sorting and figuring out how and where to store all that ... stuff.

I stand by my statement that 80% is swear words.

 

[falco_femoralis]

80% staring at the computer at work waiting to get home and work on projects
80% waiting for parts to arrive in the mail
80% waiting to build PCBs so you can figure out what parts you missed
80% waiting for paint to cure
80% wondering why the rest of the guys in the band don't think your pedalboard is cool af

 

[andare]

80% spending money, mostly on knobs that somehow never end up on any pedal yet they're very enough.

 

[jcpst]

80% is justification.

 

[pbrommer]

Oh, another 80% is waiting for USPS to route your package to the correct zip code or get out of the purgatory that is the regional distribution areas.
