Title: CSOD "the sloppy drill press"
Post by: sprayfe on March 08, 2011, 04:44:20 AM
I either got excited about boxing this up or the drill press slipped. I'll let you guess ;)

Gonna change the gain pot- perhaps c5k?

Sounds great!
Thanks bean and Chris B!

Ah well, we all experience a slip up every once in a while. I've had two projects that I've really gotten mad at myself for messing up, a Ross clone I eventually sold, and my Gain station, which is a big DD project. There was definitely some drilling mistakes there. I've since fixed my method by using templates to mark out my holes. You'll see a tutorial on it soon...

Cool, this will be helpful.  I've been using inkscape and it has made it much easier to match graphics to holes as long as the template is matched up right.

I do not use Painter's Tape anymore, because masking tape is so much cheaper and does the same job.

No drill press. Just my T-Square and a center punch.

Each enclosure, one at a time, for over two years. ;)

Great idea with the masking tape! The most simple things that make life easier!!

Definitely a C5K on the gain.  That is what I used.  Nice smooth increase in gain.
