Why put anything less than handmade tubes into that booteek amp?

A bit mad scientist, but seriously impressive stuff.

That guy is like and artist and a mad scientist roled up into one!

The attention to detail, skill and tools are mind-boggling.

Did not look that hard to me.

The only thing I did not get really was the vacuum machine at the end what that is doing. Where does it create the vacuum and what gets pinched off to hold it in?

The rest of it was really straightforward and an amazing how to guide.

Cool.

No prob - I thought it might be appreciated here.

I received the link from an e-mail list that I'm on, geared toward home-machinist stuff. I love my machine tools, and have built some crazy (and no-so-crazy ) stuff, but this guy is just beyond. I hate today's "everything is disposable mindset, and love being able to make "something from nothing," but this guy is at another level entirely. Really, really cool stuff.

Glad y'all enjoyed it! :BEER

3/4 of the way through. Had to comment this is the coolest DIY I have ever seen. Huge props to the OP for bringing it to us. Awesome!

Yeah that was bad-ass stuff!

The whole key is, the guy's wife isn't nagging him to take the trash out or come up for supper.
