Brendan,
I'd love to be doing this having DIY'd guitar amps and other stuff since the early-mid 70's but it just can't happen.
Disregarding (much to the annoyance of SWMBO) home projects, approx., five years ago for workish reasons I shelved two personal projects, a still (yes, I like my liquor) and building an arch-top guitar......a few months ago, in an attempt to regain something for me, I returned to the still and when finished I'll resume the guitar........logic said that I can enjoy my liquor while building the git BUT I can't enjoy playing the git while building the still
. Add to that the fact that my scope hasn't seen light in over a year........say no more.
