It's been such a long time since I switched on the ole buzz-box that I had to remove small trees that were growing up around it!
I dug it out of the grass and moved into the old shack so I could spend a day making this...
This is the end result after 6 hours, with most of the time going to making a bunch of videos.
Here are a few still shots from the videos. I am doing a very long series on this project, so I need hundreds of videos.
What I made was just the top segment of this complex angle and flat bar frame.
Last thing I built with any precision was the YardMule Electric Tractor, so I felt a bit rusty, but it eventually came back to me.
Here is the model I made of the final frame, which will be completed next time I have a few hours to make the sparks fly...
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, that what I am building is a 16 channel retro synthesizer all out of 1980's era components.
Everything will be hand wired to massive PCBs containing over 1000 ICs and multiple 6502 processors.
Even the video circuit is hand crafted from basic 1980's logic components.
Music (80's synth) was something I did even before building bikes, so I am doing this as a bucket list project.
This is what it is going to look like....
I have been working on the circuitry for the last 3 years, mostly when I am way up North for work.
Now that I have the frame done, this thing will be much too large to travel. It is larger than an upright piano.
It was fun to get that grinder grit in my hair and smell that 6013 burning again!
Cheers,
