I don't think this will be a contest but next week we'll start a Quarantine Build area. I'm thinking a fun activity we can participate in (those of us that are available) as a group would alleviate some boredom and stress that goes along with our collective social isolation. So, I'll make an official announcement Monday. And, I will definitely be participating myself :) I actually have a lot of builds to complete for the coming weeks so it would be fun for me to have a WIP thread for one of them.

I love the idea of this!!!
I have a backlog of pcbs to populate...I just hope I have all components :)

Will we need latex gloves, masks and safety goggles to enter and participate in that part of forum...? :o

Just kiddin'.... you gotta have a laugh anytime especially when things get rough. I'm in.

Got some PCBs on order.

If they go into production and ship before this finishes, I'll post 'em there.

I got just a whole punch of PCBs recently and just ordered two more. Should be a good time. Just got the word I'll be working from home for a while.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

That sounds great!  I think we should all steal Timko's idea and label them Corona #x....

I'm finishing up my first one tonight.  I took a break from pedals to brew a few batches of beer. Now I have enough fuel for soldering.

I'll definitely participate in this. I finished my first quarantine build this afternoon and am working on artwork for the 2nd now.

I've got a bunch of builds to box, and I'm also waiting on my tayda UV printed enclosures to turn up, so I'm in.

Sounds like fun, I'm in. Definitely have a small backlog of things to finish up.
And I'll definitely be stealing Timko's idea of numbering them "Corona #__" on the inside of the cover!

Finished my LAB5 yesterday, I'm in. We could extend the thread to anything else we get finished during the crisis. For example cleaning the basement ;-)

Great idea.

Looking forward to this too! I managed to squeak out a Small Bear order before New York went into more serious lockdown, so I just happen to be in the process of finishing up a Cherrybomb I've had languishing for ages.

Great idea.  If anybody is out of work, I could donate a project or two.  I'd like to keep it in the US, to save postage.   I just started a Pedalpcb Lenora Boost (J Rockett Lenny) and will probably start my Lab 5, soon.
