Talking Custom Built EUB

Hey everyone, i recently built a very simple eub, other than a few tools i purchased i spent under $300 on materials. I was for sure on a budget here(if i could've i'd bought an ergo), but i decided to take a chance and give this a shot, and as noted if you check my page, I am not a professional, and this is my first time to do this, and there are certain flaws in it, nowhere near perfect, but i'm very happy with it. To see photos and a sound clip visit myspace.com/projecteub
Anyone interested in building one of there own, i'll share any tips, regrets, other links, or any info i can provide.

Sweet instrument

Very nice job. The sound is quite good. Recently talked myself out of a DIY EUB just because I had no idea how the sound would come out. Didn't want to gamble that I would have a playable instrument at the end of 3-4 hundred spent.

I am trying to figure out now whether to get a NS WAV4 or the least expensive Englehardt. Anyway, congrats on your project and thanks for sharing your experience.
