Title: Hawaiian Boost - Bacon Bits
Post by: Ettore_M on February 08, 2015, 12:31:54 PM
Hey guys! At last! After a lot of time, I post a build report! I've been away of building pedals the year that passed, because I served my duties in the Greek Army. Yes, it's mandatory for every Greek  man older than 18 years old to serve in the army for 9-12 months. So, I've been away from home, and building.
However, I did follow your builds here on the forum, and it made me want to build more!  ;D

So, I'm back.. With a build that I'm very proud of! It's a simple pedal, but the engraving job on it is quite perfect, I think!  But you'll be the judges! ;)

Here it is: the Hawaiian Boost!  :D I used the Hawaiian Airlines logo as you'll see. The engraving was really difficult, and my arm was aching for days.. ::)

Hope you like it!  :)

That engraving looks awesome. I honestly thought it was laser engraved!
I also had to serve in the army for half a year. Was the biggest waste of time ever

No no! But I wish I had a laser engraver or a CNC machine..  ;D
Indeed, the biggest waste of time. This delayed my studies for almost a year.  :-\
However, it was nice to learn living away from your parents and home (I'm 22 yo, I still live with my parents) and meeting new people.  :)

Great engraving Hector! Glad you are back. I'm also glad that National Service was abolished in the UK before I was old enough to do it.
