Commercial Build vs DIY Build

[GAStan]

So what I am gathering, professional/commercial is solder side up, DIY is components side up?

Actually since the pedal is upside down when the cover is off its the other way around...but thats just an anal technicality on my part.

Do It Yourself For Yourself

That's a good point.

I do sell some pedals to make room for the next ones I want to build, but all the decisions that go into my build process are based on what I want for myself and what makes the work enjoyable. That ensures that my operation would never be a viable business, and is definitely distinct from a commercial operation.

Could be like the Great Butter Battle by Dr Suess. Components side up or components facing down!

That's one Dr Seuss I've never read, in fact, never even seen before your post!


My DIY is definitely for myself and a friend, but now more friends are demanding pedals — I don't even have time to build for myself!

Blessing and a curse?

Definitely a curse, because (to clarify*) I'm not getting my own builds built let alone finding yet more time to build for others.



*After re-reading my previous post, I realised it could be misconstrued to mean "I'm so busy building for friends I don't have time for my own builds."

I know what you mean. I'm on my own waiting list right now

Well....you should just find the time! All the fancy influencers on LinkedIn, motivational speakers and blogs say you that if you sleep only 2 hours a night and work 7 days a week, 365 days a year, you too could possibly be successful! Just sayin'

Back on topic, if you are getting that many requests, clearly you are bringing something of value to the table and they realize it.

I'm already averaging between 2 and 4 hours per night... S'TRUTH!
