What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

The old one looks more like mahogany than pine.

My understanding is that 2x4's did in fact used to be 2x4, they we started planing them to make them flatter/cleaner (I assume because we needed to use boards from nearer the outside of the tree). So a board that "started as 2x4, before it was planed" is still referred to as a 2x4.

Or that's a rural legend I happily accommodated into my personal confirmation bias.... (maybe I've been watching too much philosophy vids on YouTube)

The old one is definitely a hardwood, sort of smells like oak. It came out of my house And these are 2x3s

Is it for a tattoo machine?

FYP! 😸



The machine will go from DC 1–18V, so what I'm wondering is whether or not it's possible to repurpose this as a small pedalboard power supply.
I know I'll have to look at how many amps total are drawn, but ... may be it's better off being gutted and used as a pedal enclosure...

What say you, oh great power gurus?
 
This BYOC enclosure:

To this:

From the friend that gave me the tattoo machine (‘cause it wasn’t giving him consistent operation), also gave me some black vinyl car-wrap to practice with.

Then I only got to wrap the lid, as he showed me how on the enclosure itself. 😼😸

I’ve got enough material left over for a 1590A, maybe 1590B, that I’ll do all myself.


Also, a TrucKustom update — friend got his frame back from the sandblasters:

They did a great job, masking off the brake-rotors, zerk-fittings, etc.
Mating the trans& motor tomorrow and dropping it in.

Now that the tracing on the Rockman Acoustic Pedal (blue button, Dunlop version) is near completion, I can put the original back together . . . .

I really want one of these and you'd think I'd just go buy one because I seem to recall they're still pretty reasonable. How does it sound as a pedal?

But... You don't trust the markings?

I don't always trust the markings. I also don't don't always trust my eyes. We've found in studying Rockman gear that some parts were intentionally marked wrong or the color bands were "iffy". Especially the caps - I've seen a number of clearly marked 104 (100nF) but when measured they read ~82nF. In Rockman gear filters, those caps values can be critical. (IMO)
