Any DIY enthusiasts?

Anyone here build their own pedals/amps or instruments? I just ordered a bunch of parts to try to build a clone of the EQD acapulco gold stoner fuzz/distortion and other effects, I think my electronics soldering skills are up to par though I'll have to learn how to efficiently set up the arrangement of parts to fit them into a small 1950a enclosure like this:

And I'll also have to learn how to hand-paint enclosures, I have enough parts to make a handful of these so I might even be able to sell them if they turn out fine.
Starting small, depending on how this goes I'll attempt building progressively more sophisticated effects. I'd love to clone the Boss HM-2 and the Caitlin Effects Sabbra Cadabra, the cost of the parts to make these things is dirt.
My long-term goal is to eventually have enough confidence to build a marshall JCM800 clone from scratch without killing myself or setting my house on fire.
