Summer Project Galore!

DIY fever!! Can't stop thinking about all these cool projects on diyaudio, diystompboxes, ax84, 18Watt, etc. I need to get better organized with multiple projects going on, let's see now:

Speaker Projects:
OB - prototype is done, sounds pretty good already with only may be 50 hours of play so far, will ask the carpenter to get the plywood and hardware ready for finished speaker
Frugel-Horn Mk3- the Mark Audio drivers are unfortunately in the States still, Edwin will bring them back after the summer, so on the back burner for now...
- Constant Directivity - again missing the horn, can't do much now...

Guitar Amp Projects:
- Finished Fender 5F2-A mod, need to put it in a decent head cabinet, will get the carpenter to do it at the same time as the OB speaker cabinet, need to order some grill and front face plate to dress it up.
- Test bed for tube amp, all the parts are here just need to spend sometime to put it all together, should be done by this weekend.
- Need to decide the next amp build for bread-boarding, probably still stay with SE design this time around, may be a higher gain model...

Pedals
- Putting together a parts list, most of the passive parts, switches, jacks are sourced and ready to be ordered.
- Need to decide which pedals to build, some candidates include: LPB2, Lovetone Brown Source, Mr. Skyripper, Shin-I Companion, OLCcircuit Eclipse Valve, Parallel Universe, BISAB, Cream Pie, DOD 250 (MXR Distortion+), Digitech Space Station. Some of the above are not beginner projects, so I will start with some real simple ones like the DOD 250.
Here is the basic steps that I am thinking of, to get myself organized:

1. Decide which pedals to build;
2. Setup test bench, basically just a pre-made bread-board, power supply, and some connectors to get started;
3. order the parts;
4. put the parts on the bread-board, wire and test, listen, tweak, listen, etc.
5. put the finalized design on pref-board, prepare the wires for final assembly;
6. use CAD to do parts layout, prepare template for drilling holes in the chassis (may be standardize the locations of the input, output and power jacks, so the layout could be re-used);
6. prepare the chassis for graphic transfer - sand, clean, fine sanding, make sure the surface is super smooth, so the graphic will stick properly;
7. find the right graphic for the box, transfer and glue the image onto the box, trim the edges off, paint with light varnish several times, let dry and finish up with heavy car wax, mount the hardware onto the box and go for a test drive!
8. future to do - etch the image directly onto the box (looks so cool), and make my own PCBs which is basically the same process as etching the box, not sure it is worth it at this point as the wiring is very easy with so few parts, but definitely try it with larger and more complicated designs.

That's about it. Lots to do, but it will be fun!!
