I swear every single time I go to post something on Instagram I get distracted by reels. Then I still forget the “post” buttons been moved to the top. “Oh look, I’ve been here@too@long and so need to get back to RMLrz work” 😹 #modularsynth #eurorack #RMLfz #portland https://www.instagram.com/p/CiBRF8LhtL7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Might think twice about grabbing those pliers. #shopstuff #modularsynth https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg-dlGzP604/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I like to add unrelated comments to orders when ordering parts. (Upper left) …sometimes it’s a warning, sometimes it’s a funny quip, short story or positive affirmation. I don’t often get a response back. This time it appears my efforts had a positive impact 😄 #RMLfx #shopstuff #portland https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg72txaP7Fv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Went to get some wood today. Unfortunately they were out Beech. They put in an order for 51k board feet in 2021. It might get here between now and December 😱 I’ve got a number of orders I needed to make bottoms for. I may have to mix things up a little. Fortunately maple is in stock. It’s twice to price it used to be 😱 #shopstuff #RMLfx https://www.instagram.com/p/CgiRh_RvBKg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Various states of unfinished. Been hitting the wood working really hard this last week. Lots of gluing, clamping, staining Gotta get over the mental block of only wanting to post fancy final photos. Part of me doesn’t want to bore people to death with dust and unfinished wood. 😜 #shopstuff #portland #modularsynth #eurorack https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce0I5RAutNL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jekyll n Hyde Serpa Custom. This one shipped out to Cameron W. in Burnaby Canada. Look for his project “Eight Ways” on soundcloud. 😀Still a few more to get out the door from the closing orders. Each one of these requires 42 perfectly drilled holes. 😱 #modularsynth #proaudio #eurorack https://www.instagram.com/p/CecF1ekv6vL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This has to be the most insane Jekyll n Hyde Serpa custom box. Sent out to Doug T. in Loveland CO. The oversized flux lens is sweet and gives it a unique character all its own. …not entirely confident I can find another lens like that. #modularsynth #eurorack #modularfuzz #RMLfx https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca5s2AOvuzm/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just got back from seeing @thewarondrugs here in Portland what an incredible show! @jonnatchez killed it with his solo 😃 thank you for your support of #rmlfx ! https://www.instagram.com/p/CaWoqLPrzfl/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lol, thought this was some weird low rez image until I realized the box edges are just cut that way 😂 #eurorack #GPI https://www.instagram.com/p/CYIULBqlpX3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Judgment Cat is not impressed with returned packages due to shipping restrictions regarding Australia. ☹️This package was stuck in what seemed like an endless loop (since October) to the major shipping hubs and back a ridiculous amount of times. It was almost comical. #modularsynth #modularfuzz #eurorack #australia https://www.instagram.com/p/CYApEfNFnLz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today I am a human CNC machine. My precision is making other machines jealous. #modular #eurorack #machinelearning #portland https://www.instagram.com/obliterations_rml/p/CXxe3riLjjV/?utm_medium=tumblr

EFC Retro going out to Randy E. in St. Louis MO. Admittedly I don’t know much about Missouri, but I think the winters are tough. Unlike Portland where everything shuts down when we get 1/4” of snow! #portland #missouri #gutarFX #modularsynth https://www.instagram.com/obliterations_rml/p/CXZ3axGp6p0/?utm_medium=tumblr

This EFCcv Large format distortion box shipped out to Saman in LA California. Saman had checked in to see about a box with a lid. Officially I’m not doing boxes with lids anymore but I had one blank sitting on the shelf from a few months ago. Good timing. Saman has been a great supporter as well so he’s got the last one. …disclosure, I do have one JnH blank with a lid too. I don’t usually like advertising such things since the responses can get kinda crazy. Normally first come first serve. 😛#modularsynth #eurorack #modularfuzz #RMLfx https://www.instagram.com/p/CW8pE5iPO8v/?utm_medium=tumblr

Feeling cute, might destroy some audio later IDK 😁 This EFCcv (Large Format) shipped out to Paul S. in Winooski VT. Gotta be getting cold up there by now. #modularsynth #eurorack #vermont #modularfuzz #retromechanicallabs https://www.instagram.com/p/CWPdMLuFLSQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
