Title: My latest project and SPECIAL GIVEAWAY!
Post by: dwstanford on September 09, 2011, 05:25:35 PM

Here's my latest project.  His name is Bruce.

In honor of the birth of the new child I would like to give something away.


A Sunking PCB.  (the discontinued fabbed version)


Please allow me to answer a few inevitable questions:  No, I am not joking.  Yes, I am crazy.

I recently acquired this pcb in a trade with Jimmybjj and i will give it away to the member who can guess closest to what number i am thinking of from 1 to 100.  One guess per member.   I will announce the winner this coming Tuesday Sept. 13.  Good Luck.

You know, it's funny.  I didn't even notice what his shirt said.  It totally looks like I planned that.  I picked this picture cause it looks like he's throwing gang signs representing west side.

Yeah, the sunking is one of the most entertaining diy builds ive done, so i would really like someone who's never built one to win, but i didn't want to exclude anyone outright.  a friend of mine asked me to build him one and that's why i got it, but screw him.  he doesn't build shit.  one of you guys should have it.  (plus, i like being the only person around with a klon.  i don't even use it that much, which pisses my friends off.  :P )

Whoo Hoooo! Ian, now you!

I'm getting one next week also. I hear the boy versions have a little more headroom. Do you have a female version to compare it to? My female version I got two years ago really screams!

Also, 15.

Yeah i have a 4 year old girl named Pearl.  She is definitely louder so far.  Even when she was very young she could scream like a wild panther.  Congrats on your second.  The3secondrule, congrats on yours as well.  None of us will be sleeping for a while.  ;D

Post by: BRGPollen on September 10, 2011, 01:38:10 AM
Congrats!

Welcome Bruce, (speaking from experience) forgive your dad for not reading up on the "Powder Coating" tutorial!  Please don't eat the orange "chicklets".  Finally, the big hot pen is not for writing on the wall.  :)

I have a 12 year old M version & a 2.5 year old F version.  Both make some amazing sounds & have needed a resolder or two.

I'll ask for the number 74.

Again, the best DIY project. . . . . . . . The kids.

Congrats! I love babies. I volunteered to work the nursery at church when it's my wife's turn. I'm the only guy in there! The best part is that I am not allowed to change diapers (since I am a guy). I just get to play with the kids and hand them off to get cleaned up by the ladies.  ;D  Mine are 22 and 17 now so I miss those days. Anyway, I'll guess 42.

Oh and thanks for the give away. You guys are all so cool here.

O.K. The votes are all in.  No one picked the exact number, but the number was 64, so it looks like Jamiroking is the winner with 63.  Congratulations, Jamiroking.  Just pm me with your info.  It may take me a couple of days to get to the post office, but i will mail out your prize asap.

My brother has been asking me about the DIY pedals I've been building so I think I may let him take a crack at this as his first entry into our crazy solder smoke filled world
Congrats again on little Bruce!
