So I started a project today. After considerable time away from the shop and the time I did get doing jobs for income, I finally got in the shop for something I wanted to. A few of you know that I have been ill and on Chemotherapy for the last 5 months. I am in the final month and am trying to get motivated to do something besides sit on the couch and waste away. SOOOO, I am starting Christmas presents. Last year I was going to do this very project as a present, before I got ill. I am going to do it this year. It is called The May Queen overdrive.. This one is going to be for my guitar crazy brother in-law. I etched the pcb tonight. Not a big start. For me it was huge.... 1. never etched a pcb 2. actually having the strength to get into the shop. I am very happy with the results: Eric |

Good on you Eric, The first step is always the hardest, but make sure you can walk safely before you put on your jogging shoes. Nice start to the project. I used to do the same sort of thing, but because I didn't have a UV lightbox, I exposed the light sensitive board and mask on a south facing kitchen window sill, a bit iffy at times, depending on how much sunshine, but it got the job done to acceptable standards (most times).

Great start Eric good to see you up and about:- every project begins and ends with a step, but the first step is always the hardest. What acid did you use to etch the pcb and how did you mask it off :scratch: Cheers Stew |

Somethin new for the BIL to fiddle with. I'm sure it will a hit. Would definately put the optional cap in with a socket arrangement as per the cct diagram. Recon a variable cap would be cool if u could find one with a high enuf capacitance. |

That looks to be a very good result on the PCB Eric and congratulations on getting back in the shop! :thumbup: |
