Parentheses Mini 1590BB

Basically a total rip off of the V2 without an expression jack. I’m going to try that on my next build. This was my first go at the reverse etch technique I got from Hexjibber.

Clipping options are 1n4148s and 1n5817/Orange LED...octave is from matched 1n5817s and sounds great.

Wow looks great!

Looks great inside out! That etch does the theme to it!

Looking good. Love the reverse etch!

For a first go that looks perfect

Did it involve a lot of sanding and prep work to get that finish

Thanks and it took the usual amount of prep I put into an etch, which is quite a bit (wet sanding from 220 up to 1000 grit) but yesterday I finally bought a nice dewalt random orbital sander so hopefully that effort is now dwindled a bit.

My arms aching just thinking about it

Being naturally lazy I just use 180 to level the surface and 400 to finish these days

But you may have just inspired me to put myself through prep hell again!

Thanks.....I think!

Hahaha yeah I have tendinitis in my strong arm right now, so power tools are the only way forward! Except for the etch reveal, I’ll still do that by hand.
