Looking great John!
I'd go so far as to say Gorgeous!
Curious: Why is the bypass on the left instead of the right with this design?

John, after you get the box polished, do you have to protect it with a clear coat?
They do look great!

nope. they stay shiny. there not really polished but rather wet-sanded with a super fine micro-mesh grit for a shiny brushed finish.
The Rusty Box is made that way. This is just my opinion, but any small horizontal pedal like that works better with the bypass on the left in case you ever want to put it vertically on your board, if you use your right foot that it. That way you are stepping on the bottom switch without fear of touching the knobs.
The best part is I'm certain that you and I will get one of those lol
Well HURRY UP and get it!
I don't have all day to win the M³, I've got pedals to buy! This might be one of 'em.
Thanks for the feedback on pedal button orientation, @johnk_10 , @nshuman
Most pedals I've come across have the bypass on the right; NSHu, you could always turn the horizontal pedal the other way.
Anyways...I was just curious is all.

You can, but then, the engage button is on top, makes it more awkward to reach the engage button and not hit the other one.
I meant, if in the horizontal position, the bypass were on the right and the boost were on the left such as with most other pedals I've seen, you can still turn the pedal vertical in such a way that the bypass switch is still at the bottom corner (just the opposite corner from how the GK Rails here are). Either way works just fine, I'm sure.

Muchas Gracias!
Consistently a delight to peek inside your pedals, sir!

Ok, late to the party, but how do I get one? Building one isn't an option. LOVE my GK grind, and having that in a pedal sounds magical.
