Test bench almost done...
#14

Sweet! Yes, that's a lot of planning and work but will pay off! I built mine about 10 years ago using a radio book from the '50s as a guide and have really liked it. Now, my boy has gone off to college and his room is available. I was planning to start preparations for the move like paint, better lighting, more plugs, but was looking at his "car's" wallpaper border, his pictures and a few things I did when he was 8. Started feeling nostalgic. Wow how time passes! For me it would be a move more than a build, probably add shelves for testers and a dedicated area for TV work.

If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything" Icon_confused
