Porthole is no problem (holesaw), also the control plate (jigsaw). I'm weighing up how best to do the speaker cut out, I also have a palm router (and a plunge router although I'm not sure about the chuck on it).

48 tooth fine cut - https://www.screwfix.com/p/trend-wood-chipboard-mdf-circular-saw-blade-184mm-x-16mm-48t/826af We had a few hours of dryness. I'm sure it'll be back to wet soon.

The point of the PiPedal is to work as an effects pedal. I'm not sure whether there's a way to intercept the digital output of the PiPedal, I haven't been into that yet.

Battens already cut to length and drilled. My circular saw proved capable of cutting a triple layer sandwich (once I set the cut height right). I used a different cutting pattern as I was cutting a maximum of 610mm - first a cut across at 300mm, then a second and third at 376mm. After that, I stacked the three pieces and cut at 276mm twice, so a total of five cuts. First, I made the sled - I'd glued and screwed a length of batten across the panel, and just cut across using that as a guide. Then I clamped up for the first cut, and found that when I'd just nipped up the fixing bolt for the blade that my definition of nipped up and the instructions definition of nipped up are different. Once rectified, off we went. The first cut is the shallowest. After that first cut, I was able to use the piece I'd just cut off to rest the other side of the circular saw base on. Another cut the same and then I stacked the wood. And at last got to the final cut. I still have to cut out holes in the front and rear.

Admittedly they're a bit of a wild claim, but let me reassure you that when the guitarist f*cks his volume setting up and you've neglected to put a limiter on the mixer, the result is mind-buggeringly loud.

I only look at FB on a desktop browser using FB Purity.

Input and output are both from the audio interface, the signal gets passed into and out of the Pi via USB.

We use Alto TS308s for FOH and TS408s for monitors (it works better that way round, the 408s are an ideal shape for monitors). Vocals only most of the time, sometimes one of the guitars and sometimes my soft synth. They're great.

But don't do a 1990s "Click here to enter" home page a la Rob Green...

The saw sled is the width rather than the length of the panel - I think it would work doing cuts 3 and 4 first, then stacking the middle and right-hand pieces (I suspect the circular saw might baulk at 36mm).

Correct. Looking at images of OLP TLs, they're all quite different.

Seems like a generic 3-band Chinese EQ. There is an alternative circuit which consists of the original 2-band EQ plus a mid control - see https://andyszeugs.wordpress.com/cheapray-5-string/ for the mid control part (the 2 band EQ is Stinger, musikding kit or OSH Park PCB), but that does involve a very expensive pot. There's also a 3 band Stingray EQ clone circuit that can be found on TB (thread title "DIY Stingray 3EQ Preamp") using an OSH Park PCB.

Of course not, they should be set on fire to power electricity generation.

Sorry I didn't make it, was feeling knackered after a fairly busy week. I haven't quite got round to attacking the plywood with the circular saw yet, although the battens are cut - does that mean I should cut the panels as originally sized, or would the new panel dimensions work with the old batten dimensions? Edit: just looked at the changes and the batten lengths remain the same, so when it stops raining after 40 days and 40 nights I'll cut out the panels to the new sizes.

Scratchplates are evil.

One of the bassists at Tuesday's open mic was playing a P (the rest were playing Js apart from me with a Pedulla series 2 fretless 6). After hearing that, I never ever want to have a P. Absolutely awful sound.

It seems a lot of trouble to go to to make every single front different though.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2189732864885547 The thought that there might be more than one of these in the world fills me with dread. Although there does seem to be a related instrument just poking into the picture.

The Royal Mail app is appalling. Half the time it says there are problems with the servers so it can't give me any information. Conversely, the Evri app works perfectly and I get given an expected delivery window.

For moderately or very common instruments, check Ebay sold listings. That will give some idea.

Funnily enough, I keep thinking that @Supernaut's avatar is Scooby Doo when I see it out of the corner of my eye.

You do know that "disposable" means it's disposed on rent/mortgage, food, utility bills, etc, don't you?

Presonus Studio 24c connected to Pi 5 and recognised straight away. Configured to 48kHz sample rate, 64/4 for buffers, showing a latency of 5.3mS. Now I've got to work out how to connect something up to the input and the output, with everything precariously balanced on my desk and my chair occupied by my circular saw until I can get the new blade for it and take it back to the shed (the floor is fully occupied). Things will get better once Mrs Zero gives me the go-ahead to move into Sub Zero's former room.
