"Quite a squeeze" is an understatement! Nice work.

Hmm, interesting Alien was.
Maybe you can try the PCB this time

Very nice use of the Aluminm. Has given me a really good idea for using the Aluminum L channel they sell at the hardware store.. Hope you dont mind if i steal the idea sometime down the road

My first build, a CMoy:

Congrats on the first build.
I hardly see them in Penguin tins. I hardly see those kinds of slider switches too. How about quick shots of the inside?

 

[Fitz]

I think most people are too lazy to cut a hole to use a slider switch, than just drill a single hole and stick a regular toggle switch in.

Looks nice and professional that way though, you barely even notice the jacks and switch.

Here's the inside. Pretty messy.

This is the electronics before I put it in the tin. I haven't cut down the prototype board yet, and the opamp isn't in yet either.

Cutting out the hole for the slider switch was a pain in the arse, and I kind of messed it up. Note how my photos don't really show the slider switch

If I build another one, I'll definitely stick to a toggle switch.
I'll move the pot down to the side too; once I plug things into the input and output jack, the cables do get in the way of turning the pot.

Don't mind at all! After all, capitalization is the name of the game.

My CMoy, rather messy but it's not too bad

Hi again!
My PIMETA is up and running! Lot's of time spent making the cases but the result was worth it, i guess

Very happy with the results and thank you all who helped me and answered my questions

and ofcourse tangent!

click on the image for gallery!


here is some other stuff i've done lately if you're interested

Greets, Ron

 

[MASantos]

Those are nice enclosures! I really like the wood and metal combination.

That power cord is definitely overkill, but looks great!

 

[pho_boi]

very nice work ronstah!!

wish I could do casework like that

I know what you mean. Every custom idea I had in regards to my case has been a challenge. I'm getting them to work one by one, but the time factor is enormous.

A nice look you've got there. Good job!

Got bored, had a Hammond 801C lying around.. so I decided to make this beast using a bandsaw or two..

This is a repost of that which is posted on the PPAS build thread..

It charges off of 9v batteries and 12v wallwarts, and runs for about 24 hours.
Heh. I think I have about 4cm^3 worth of volume left in there.. everything is jammed together.
