This is a plea for help from the UK pedal building community...

For various reasons, I've found myself without the tools/ contacts to get enclosures drilled and I want to build a few new pedals. I'm wondering if anyone on here would be able to help me out by swiss-cheesing a few enclosures for me. Before you consider, I'll try and clarify-
I'm going to have four large enclosures (Hammond 1550 series) that I'll mark up to show exact placement of each hole. It will be quite a few per pedal though, maybe 3 or 4 footswitches, up to 15 controls, jacks and power etc. The enclosures I'm looking at are the powder coated series, but hopefully that should make no difference. If it does, I can get the plain aluminium ones instead.

Now, by way of compensation I can't offer a huge amount as I'm fairly broke (obviously all postage will be covered). Think you'll need a new drill bit to get it done? Fair play. Want a few beer tokens for the weekend on top? Legit. Let me know. Want to drill another enclosure for me to build you a pedal? That's not impossible....
Is this actually a lot more work than I'm thinking it is/ am I asking way too much? Please someone tell me

If anyone is up for it, PM me to talk details. I would be hugely grateful

Not that I think your request is unreasonable, but if no one bites I think you could get a drill and some bits for about £30 if you use ebay. And I've found from performing this task in my livingroom that picking out metal splinters from your and your girlfriend's feet is actually quite a fun and bonding experience.

To be fair, it probably IS unreasonable, I just thought I'd give it a shot because my health at the moment makes wielding a drill a bit of a nightmare. I may just delay the project until I'm better Thanks for the reply

I don't think it's unreasonable at all. If I had a press, I'd be happy to do it. Spread the fuzz love!
