I’m accumulating the supplies for a lot of fun projects and experiments in the coming future. Just this weekend I came home to find silk screening equipment, my order of electronic components, and a soldering iron. I also bought a belt/disc sander recently. As the demand for my work increases, I’m innovating a few steps in my process to streamline the whole deal.

I may be most excited about the silkscreened resist-mask I’m going to do. If it works the way I think it will, then I could apply flawless masks of about twenty enclosures an hour. The acrylic-based paint should make a nice and tough mask, which will let me experiment with etchants a bit, without worrying too much about loss of detail.

The idea is to help reduce the cost of my work enough so that doing a large batch of enclosures would become more affordable. This would free me up to work directly with pedal companies on large-scale products.
