pcb design for the hollow earth is ready but I havent passed the order on to the manufacterer yet. I can still build a few with the hard-to-build PCBs I have left over from last year.
the painting/finishing process is the longest, definatelly. like how there's a red "window" for the display, etc. that shit's hard because it's multiple steps, and waiting between steps for something to harden.
the moths are easy. I've had four built already since a week ago (not for sale yet) and I guess I could of made double all at once had I been bolder.
they havent been on sale yet because I still need to make a video demo of them. I dont have my old video camera anymroe so I had to get a new one this week. I'm extremelly unconfortable selling shit without people seeing/hearing it first.
aaaaaaaannd there's the whole lazyness/i-have-a-life/i-have-other-hobbies aspect. I really cant dedicate more than a certain percentage of my free time for this or else I stress out. kind of like what happened late last year. 40 hour work week already drains a lot out of me so normally I'd just want to spend the rest of my time doing stuff I like and that isn't stressful. thing is,
I don't like assembling pedals. I dont enjoy it at all. I like ivnenting them and then building a couple, then I like moving on to another design. building 40 of the same, especially during the free time, especially because I dont exactly
need the extra money (its just a bonus) makes me ask wtf am I doing? I dont enjoy it, so I'm trying to make it the least stressful as possible so that it has the least negative impact on my life. that means I need to spread things out slower, take more time, so be it.
it's half-justified by funding pedals/instruments or other hobbies, I guess. I was able to buy a new 35mm camera, expensive pro film and a bunch of lenses this month thanks to the little bit of money on the side.
