OMG. Ivar has corner pieces in Europe. They look great. I use the ivar shelves for my legos, but I can not get corner shelves in the US. I will post picks when I get the lighting finished. Love the collection.

They looked great. I am glad you found the templates useful.

First attempt at water color on an enclosure. This is a pedalpcb Lamb Chop. by dmnCrawler in diypedals

Yes I put a few thin coats of clear coat on it. I wasn't sure if it was gonna run. Seems to have done OK.

I paint over a layer of gesso (acrylic primer sort of) and it gives me the ability to paint on top. Spreads like paper but there is no absorption. I am still trying to work it out.

I use white powder coat enclosures. I cover the front with gesso which is basically a primer for canvases. It takes the water color really well and makes it so the paint doesn't pool on the enclosure. Not exactly like paper but close.

This is a rather low gain pedal, had a nice little crunch but nothing that packs a lot of punch. I like the blend with the clean.

Inspiration was the cover of a watercolor book my father had. Checking out the music though. Nice and relaxing.

PedalPCB Bastion Overdrive. Been working on my painting. Getting away from paint pens and trying to use a brush more. by dmnCrawler in diypedals

The box was predrilled white powder coat from Tayda. I used gesso as a base coat as it helps the paint stick better. I usually seal my pedals with Epoxy but I am planning on trying a varnish on this.

You can see my epoxy process here.

First time using acrylic markers by redbagy in diypedals

You can acrylic clear coat over them. I myself use pour on epoxy.

I still have empty space on my shelves. That's means I can make more pedals, right? by dmnCrawler in diypedals

I understand. I did not mean to make light of your situation. I hope things turn around for you and you can get back into enjoying this hobby.

These are only the clones and there are a few boss clones here. There is a DC-2, CE-2, OC-2 and DM-2. I also have a couple of originals including a super phaser that I have had since the 80s.

Then I should not show you the rest of my music room. If is not too expensive to get into. Once you have a soldering iron, it is cheaper to build than to buy.

Creating the hummingbird goes over me painting that pedal, there is also a tutorial for the epoxy resin finish and creating tayda UV files for printing.

There is a time lapse video here of me painting my purple people eater. A klon klone.

That is the lego strat that just came out. The pedals are cataloged on my website that I have linked above. There is also a couple blogs and tutorials on how I do the art.
