Nice job.Nice work dude!
Here’s another little tube-project, a preamp-overdrive…View attachment 81476View attachment 81477View attachment 81478View attachment 81479View attachment 81480
There’s a company (Schaeffer AG) here in Germany that supplies a free CAD-Software to do offline design/development of faceplates and housings, includes libraries for diverse connectors and such, excellent and easy to use…even calculates the costs.How do you perforate the box? Do you bring it to a shop with a CNC cutting machine?
Those need to be headstocks!It's been a wile since I've posted up some of my work!
Aside from playing guitar and lusting after amp tones I wood work! I work mainly with Hawaiian woods and being part Hawaiian I some what involve myself in the culture.
Here is a "Lei O Mono" a Weapon of war used by ancient Hawaiians. The body is made from Milo Pronounced "Me low" The teeth are genuine Tiger shark and are set and lashed with epoxy and hemp string. The shadow box is made from Mango wood and Wange biscuits at the corners backed with felt.

Here is a Clock from a Mig 21! A customer wanted me to make a base to hold it. Something a little different for me but it was nice to do something else! Enjoy!

That would be killer, full on War guitars! Never seen an Hawaiian metal band.Those need to be headstocks!
Hawaii metal band with Lei O Mono guitars.
Nice 3.0 SHO, great running engines! back in the day I had a Extreme Performance long travel with a 3.0 TT!Offroad racing and exploring...built this one from scratch in my garage. Motor is a V6 from a '94 Ford Taurus SHO, 6-speed manual from a '06 Wrangler, lots of other stuff. Handles like a go-cart and I drive it around town in the summer as well

I used to work with a bunch of guys who were crazy into rock crawling. One guy built his from scratch, another guy converted a Toyota pickup, another guy an old Bronco (I think?). Every year they'd head off to Moab and get crazy. We did a car crush for charity event one time and used the Crawlers to drive over old cars - such a blast.Offroad racing and exploring...built this one from scratch in my garage.

3D printing is something I want to get into but I just don't have the time. I have a buddy that did some printing for me for a dust collection system that I came up with for my CNC. He put in some hours on this deal for sure but it works great!I always try to have some kind of project on the go in my spare time. Bought a 3D printer about 2 years ago and it opened up so much potential. It inspires a lot of ideas, probably the best thing I've ever bought. I'm obsessed now. Also started learning Arduino coding as well and integrating those both.
This was one of the first things I made a few years back. It's a MIDI controller that I used for running the looper functions on the Boss DD500. Also added a feature to keep track of how many overdubs are running, the pedal doesn't have that info. It's running on an Arduino Nano. Sold the DD500 a while back, thinking of reprogramming this for the Axe FX looper so I can free up some buttons on my floorboard.

This is an arcade stick I 3D printed. Designed and printed a few parts to improve the stick itself too, shorter throw shaft, and a bigger cup for a smaller deadzone.

Just finished this one at the start of year. 7 months of work in this. Runs Retropie on Raspberry Pi4 and can play anything up to Dreamcast/N64/PS1.

In a similar vein, couple of small joypads I made, running on Arduino Micros.

My guitars got some 3D love too. Started off trying to replicate a DiMarzio cover for no real reason other than to see how it would turn out. Liked how it looked, ended up doing all 3, and then just started replacing random parts on this guitar with 3D printed bits, just for fun.

And I've been working on a prototype for a stop-tailpiece B-Bender. Printed version works perfectly, so I've started working on a metal version.

I've hit the image upload limit. Probably for the best, I'd just end up going on and on with more of this.
