I was in for a board, but I also want a box!

This will be my first build, so I hope it isn't too hard! But, my home brew TeleMaster is coming along really well and am waiting on a pickup. I also need to figure out how to cut bakelite.

I guess I need to think about what amp to build now to go for the Hat Trick.

The ever classic 5e3 goes pretty dang well with a regular tele and is pretty simple to build. Just saying...

OK, I just went through both folk boost threads and recorded the earliest request date by each person wanting a kit. I started tracking names after the actual donnerbox kit idea was announced. There were some folks who wanted 1-knob boards but I'm assuming they settled that with mmolteratx and those requests were not tracked.

Anyway, here it is as of 2 p.m. on 07/09/2012
It looks like there are more folks than there will be boxes although I'm unsure of the final count. I'll leave the call on where to make the cutoff up to Donner and mmolteratx since they're doing a fantastic job getting all this stuff together already and I don't want to step on toes. :thumbup:

Great work on the chart cajone5! I don't think I'm the only one really excited about this! :mrgreen:

I am interested in a kit and box if it is not too late.

Thanks,
