As an amateur, I would have appreciated a sense of scale.
I’m presuming it’s tiny.
Good excuse for a Father Ted clip. Hopefully it will work over there.

I went scrolling through my pictures today and it seems I’ve deleted my soldering images.
I get bored on long flights and do stuff like that.

I just did - and didn’t take a picture.
I need to get onboard the program.

Thanks, I'm real happy with it too.
Always wanted one of these clean boosters because Hughie Thomasson originally had one built into one of his stratocasters.

Hughie Thomasson...there's a name I hadn't thought about in years. And Henry Paul too.
I grew up in Florida in the 70s, and The Outlaws were huge, along with Tom Petty and Molly Hatchet. I know all their stuff on guitar because it's in the water there.
I am off to binge on The Outlaws! And Henry Paul Band!

Did I ever tell you guys about the time I saw them play a homecoming dance for $5?  |

Do tell!
I’m getting the impression that you’re the Forest Gump of the world of Rock.

Not much to tell.. they were touring behind their first album and played the local college.
For $5 admission.
The album notes described the band's sound as "Beautiful and Brutal", and I had absolutely no idea what that meant.. until I heard them.
I'm still a fan to this day, and fortunate enough to have seen the original lineup.
Now, back to soldering...

Very cool. Did you do the enclosure art?
|

Post by Leftee on Feb 18, 2023 14:59:40 GMT -5
Yes, back when I did that candy green guitar last year I also sprayed the enclosure. The labels are part of the kit. The flying tiger - not so much. 2K clearcoat over those.

Just so you know, there's no actual instructions that come with a kit, so what you see on the website is what you're going to go with. If you're not real comfortable following a schematic and you want more step by step instructions it might require cross-referencing some of their online instructions.
But hey, if I can do it...

haha, thanks. I ordered a kit, I'll go slow. reminds me of building models or radio kits. seeing someone else do it is encouraging  |

Post by Leftee on Feb 20, 2023 14:37:50 GMT -5
There is an instruction book with the kit I'm working on. It is exceptionally well-written/illustrated.

No - I was out of town most of last week. And the weekend was eaten up with family things. I'll get back on-task this week.
