DrillSleeve, a cheap, quick, accurate way to drill multiple enclosures.

I usually use the search on Geofex located on the left sidebar to find things.  I threw "template" in there and got:

http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/boxtemplate.htm

The template is linked in the article.

Precisely my point.

If you know exactly what you are looking for, you can find it. But chances are you will never find it through casual browsing. So if you didn't just happen to be at that site looking specifically for "template", "drill pattern", "drill jig" (hmm... wonder if those search terms work too?) you wouldn't be aware that the article even existed.

Two things come to mind.

One is that in fact Geofex is hard to navigate, no question. I had an offer from a fellow to go rework it for me to make it easy, but he skipped out and never did it.
Two is that with that knowledge, I keep telling people to go read it all. There is remarkably little there that a pedal builder will not some day need to know, and it will answer the next question as well as the current one.

Google does index the entire site, and serves as a useful adjunct to the search function on the site. Someday I'll have the time to quite spewing information and make all the info nice and tidy...

Well, it is less difficult to find something at GEO than in my computer...

Yeah, blog-style websites (or sites that are organized by submission date to some degree) and forums like this are pretty inefficient for providing access to "reference" information. The reason is that they are organized like the filing system on the top of my desk at the office- where the most often accessed and recent information surfaces to the top of the pile.

But you knew that...

(Not to mention that web sites are a PITA to maintain anyway - the reason I took mine down years ago).

And this has been discussed ad nauseum re. this board in the past. Probably a good time to put in another plug for supporting the wiki. IMO, fully developing/supporting the wiki is the only way this will get "sorted out"...

Hey guys, I didn't see the need to take more pics as no one had given any criticism until now. If it is more pics you need it will be more pics you will have.

I am always willing to listen to suggestions to make things better for everyone's understand. Don't be afraid to drop a line with suggestions.

Well the problem is perhaps: how do someone know what he want if he don't understand what he see.  What I mean is that most things that LOOK too complicated is often skipped without comments.  Someone might think he will look stupid to ask questions ( even more to a God  ).  Not that it is in reality complicated...

Actually, I do have a suggestion. If you're making a run, use the cardboard variety and quite small holes. Then mark the hole positions with spray paint through the "sleeve".

Oh, wait. Make the sleeve be 1/4" thick luan and use hardened-tip screws for the hole locations. Then just folding the thing around the box marks hole positions. -
