Title: Great builds of builders past
Post by: gtr2 on September 16, 2012, 12:29:25 AM
Jimmy's apis.klon AWESOME build inspired me to start this thread.  We have 67 pages of build reports!  There are INCREDIBLE BUILDS throughout.

This thread is to honor builder's past builds.  Ones that EXCEED boutique standards.  I'll start with a few goodies...  Many more need added by everyone  :)

Josh, this piece of your work really stood out to me, that graphic is just beautiful and a nice implementation of all the bells and whistles too:

Honored to be on the list!

I have an extra of that Starlight echo still, I should take some better pics...

Woohoo, I made the list! Really, those are some fat builds. That Cosmo is so slick.

Master-etcher Keefe did that one so right so much for real.  Yeah!

In other news this poll-graphic bender with the hidden inverter board really turned my crank:

Seriously man? That Cosmo sets the bar HIGH. I loved it, and still do. I'd love to do a combo build where I fill the enclosure, but you create the artwork.

Shoot me a PM and tell me what you have in mind.  That might be a fun project.

Wow, mucho flattered to have a couple of my builds included.

There have been some belters on here though. In addition to some of the excellent builds above, I'd like to add some of my other favourites.

I love these two ultra small builds. All-round incredible fit and finish on both:

This just blew my mind when it comes to the complexity and the end result:

http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=5730.0

This is one of the best etches I've ever seen and is again equally neat internally:

http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=5373.0

Finally this one is just stunningly pro. This looks silk screened and CNC'd even though it's neither, the guy must have the patience of a saint! Hugely impressive:

The thing about Bluestrat's build reports is not just the quality of his builds (which is wonderful) but also the quality of the photography.
