Let's see your finished DIY projects!

Looking good DADGBD!

Here's my weekend project. Finally got around to making a guitar rack...

[DADGBD]

Thanks, Jero!

Okay... WHAAAT is that hanging? Casino? I've never seen that colour before - looks great!

[DhanoSuzuki]

Definitely looks like a Casino to me. p90s, tailpiece. That color does look mighty sexy on it.

Thanks, she's a beauty no doubt. Believe it or not, it's a "cheap" Xaviere brand (http://www.guitarfetish.com/XV-910-Semi ... c_186.html) that I picked up for a steal at $150 a few years ago. I've really been wanting to ditch the trapeze and stop tail it lately.

Not quite done wiring it all up, but that's not the hard part of this one. Finally got some decent engraving results out of my desktop CnC. Been doing PCBs for awhile now, but haven't braved an enclosure until last night. It came out mostly pretty good, although there are a few dimples in the saw blade due to me getting the cut depth wrong on the first try.

Anyway, the circuit inside is the "Eagle Claw" octave fuzz from Parasit Studio. If you haven't check out their stuff yet, you should: http://www.parasitstudio.se/ It's a crazy-ass octave up. Totally nutzo noise. You guys would love it. There's a clip on this page: http://www.parasitstudio.se/building-bl ... ctave-fuzz

That looks really good! What CnC did you use?

Here's an action shot:

Every time I think, "why would anyone want a CNC that doesn't do massive manufacturing jobs?" someone posts cool shit like this.

[cherler]

Yeah that is way too cool, I need to get a real job.

Mind me asking what the CNC ran you? I've always thought about using one.

Here's the product page with pricing: https://othermachine.co/store/othermill/
It's gone up about 10% since I bought mine last year.

You can get a larger and more powerful CnC for about half the price with the Shapeoko, but it's not optimized for PCBs and isn't self-contained. OtherMill is great for me because it works with Eagle CAD files natively. If you don't plan to make PCBs regularly, I would get something else. The Othermill's working area is very small compared to most CnCs. But I do love that it is small, quiet, and neat (all the dust stays in the enclosure).

This week I have been having fun doing this



This is a stripped down "lite" version of the Lovetone flanger and basically omits the FX loop, and fits in a small(er) enclosure.



I also made the new MN3005 madbean Memory Man called the "Total Recall"
This sounds just as good as my EHX one (granted thats a big box reissue).
I wired it true bypass as I prefer that (I have other buffering etc on my board)
Its in a tall box

Damn! That flanger is sexxxxxx
