Wish I could afford a mountain of stuff. Or had space for another bench. No problem, I'll just keep this one covered with yet another build.Bob S wrote:The answer to keeping shipping costs in check...
Order in large quantities !
But the workbench disappears under a mountain of stuff.

building
sniffing solder
pretending to know where the "outer foil" really is
and spending hours on ebay ................
hoarding parts, really I like sorting resistors, I enjoy it, I can stop whenever I want to..................

Re: Ampaholics anonymous?
I went through a phase years ago where I enjoyed building low power amps in novel chassis. Bread pan, lunch box, etc.
I was in Ikea with my wife, and she looked over at me and noticed I was admiring this chrome tissue dispenser. She said "What do we need that for...oh my god... your going to build an amp in it."
Pretty sad when you can look at something and wonder what it would look like with tubes and a couple for transformers.

LOL. I haven't yet got around to using it. But here is a crappy pic. I think it was $5.Bob S wrote:That is SAD Lefty.
Do you remember which section of Ikea ?

Looks doable Lefty.
Best I go to Ikea alone.
If I take my wife it will be the most expensive chassis yet.

Yeah, when you're in a thrift store going through old aluminum cookware you know you've pretty much hit rock bottom.

Re: Ampaholics anonymous?
hey  - I go down to the thrift store and get those old tin boxes for some builds - about 1$ each.
old lunchboxes are particularly cool.
