And, a complete course in Eagle----all free stuff.

That would be awesome.  Going thru the Gaussmarkov stuff really turned the corner for me using Eagle.  I'm still not where I want to be but the more knowledge out there the better.

Yeah, the plan for some time has been a series of video tutorials that are project based, rather than the lame "this.is.the.file.menu.where.you.can.save.files." stuff that always makes me sleepy.

Another Eagle tutorial out there would be awesome. Gaussmarkov's got me going, but it would be nice to have some more in depth sections, ie creating a custom parts library, etc.

Sure! The tutorials on the gaussmarkov site are great for getting started, but there is a lot more that could be added, including custom libraries.

YES!!!  For the most part I'm just too lazy, but lately there are a few oddball parts I need to create and I find the whole process a tad confusing.

I'm sure there would be more than a few people that would enjoy adding all of the Klon parts with one button click..

Unfortunately, I can't offer a "bill of materials" feature like Mouser, Digikey, et al. I did investigate this at the request of numerous customers. But my hosting company has been clear that the shopping cart software (originally built as Kurant StoreSense, now owned by E-Bay and called ProStores) was never designed to add multiple items with a single click. Adding the feature through scripting external to the program I am told would not be practical, and the hosting company can't modify the program because the source code is not theirs. E-Bay and my hosting company have definitely improved ProStores over time--it does stuff now that it did not when I started--but so far they have not added a B.O.M.

What I do offer is what I always have: If you drop an e-msj telling me what you want to build, I will reply with a spreadsheet file or files containing a generic parts list for the pedal. The newer ones include SKU numbers from the Stock list, and I have been editing the older ones as I make time to do so.

Well I was sure I wasn't the first one to suggest it. Thanks for the reply  ;)
