What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

[benny_profane]

A 1 knob bass comp you say?

Yep—using the THAT 4316 chip.

@Harry Klippton and @benny_profane lovin them tiny box builds. Makes me want to shove some boards in tiny boxes too. A 1 knob bass comp you say?

I am not loving it but I'm doing it anyway

I did my last set of pedals in a batch (built all the boards, then did the enclosures, then did all the assembly), so it’s been a few weeks since I soldered anything. Nice to get back in optivisor and headphones mode! Just flowed in all the resistors on this Sproing deluxe that will be going into one of my first diy sheet metal enclosures.

Threw in a shot of my cobbled together soldering rig- tall vise gets the board up closer to my eyes, and a little dc fan and carbon filter stuck on the end of a loc-line machine coolant nozzle gets the smoke outa my face.

I like how you bend the leads!

Thanks! Pinching them together like that works great. Keeps things pretty secure, and gives you room to get the iron in there. I found that trick in a YouTube video from Fuzzlord Effects.

Like most of us I imagine, I build pedals alone, and have never seen someone else do it in person, so little simple tricks of the trade like that are very exciting when I can find them.

That “I went through a pound of solder” feeling.

Time to build myself something in my preferred desktop format with side jacks and no footswitch:

Heresy, it's not just for breakfast anymore!

And it's a wrap!

 

[Fingolfen]

I currently have seven... yes SEVEN... Klon boards - Five for my Kentrosaurus, and two Tone Geek BFK boards for a separate project...

... help!!!

 

[PunchySunshine]

Replacing the jacks on my amp and I went 30 for 30 this morning with zero lifted traces. I'm going to get cocky now!

Finally getting around to finishing enclosures for the pile of completed boards I’ve got built.

Did some rearranging on top of reorganizing. Guess I should be glad I have long arms

Ya’ know… best practice is to put the biggest, widest thing on the bottom…

 

[jhaneyzz]

All done. Now I have to buy several snakes

And I have 2U left. What should I get to put in there? (And 1 500 slot )

Controllers for the fog machines and lasers…

I was gonna, but it's also the lightest

Octarock, Skeptical, and Unison boards. Hopefully this Wednesday I'll go into my old shop and drill boxes.

And if that isn’t a reminder to finally get a fume extractor…

"I inhaled a pound of solder" just doesn't have the same ring

This wassss in the Sheet metal thread but since its not done i feel this is more appropriate! Pretty bummed I was a little too rough with peeling off the silicone tape and peeled off the powder coat. I just got some powder coat remover, just waiting on it to come in. The coat is a little thin i think i need a 2nd powder coat. I know what i need to do to get better results.

Should i leave the bare tip? or next time powder coat that part too? Not sure here but im leaning towards powder coating the lip as well. Any tips appreciated.
