Introducing LUBDAR

[Lubdar]

Hi everyone, having missed out on formally introducing myself in this thread, I thought I'd take a moment to do just that.
Lubdar is the name I'm going with (like "Tub"+"Dart"-"t").
My hobbies have varied over the years, but mostly in the spirit of DIY, I've always just wanted to say "I made that".
I don't really play guitar; I was a drummer whose messed around with guitar, but nowadays I enjoy the learning/building/creating phase.

I used to blog about papercraft for old squaresoft related videogames . This year I started building pedals using a breadboard looking PCB and the Beavis Audio Website.  For the longest time I'd seen the words "Madbean" come up on Chromesphere's youtube videos but I had never tried my hand at an actual PCB, but then earlier this year I decided to order the Slow Loris. Turned out great, had no problems with the build, and I was able to give it to my friend for his wedding present.   But recently I've been trying to learn more about pedals and how to make them sound different ways, I've been doing a very poor job of documenting it on my effects journey blog http://www.blackskycraft.blogspot.com.

I hope to learn many a things from the community here.

Heh it's all good, I don't mind. If anything it was a reminder for me to introduce myself to this great community I've been missing out on thus far.

I assembled my last drumset, it was an excellent experience (Keller maple shells, Slingerland hardware, black satin finish) it was nice...and addicting. I'd lose sleep searching online for the right parts, or the best deals.

I also have been stenciling and more recently screen printing t-shirts for the past decade.  Nothing large scale, but no one is ever going to make a shirt with the images I want on them so once again I figured I would take up the hobby myself. Fortunately the screen printing has paid off in terms of enclosure artwork.  Right now its fairly monochromatic, but I look forward to moving on toward more colors, etching, and a combination of etching and stencils.

Right on. It's good to know there's another drum builder and screen printer among us! I'm into both.
