Aron, feel free to move this to the lounge if you feel that's more appropriate. I wasn't sure where the best place for it was.

What a nut. Lock him up!

Nah, only joking. Pretty cool. Wonder if they're RoHS compliant??

In fact I was just planning to build my EL34 in my garage. And a space shuttle too.

Wow. Just plain wow.

Amazing.

Plus he was wearing a suit jacket while making it

Thanks for posting this, I really had no idea people made these in their home. It looked like he made every machine for each task [except the measurement devices of course]. I don't read Francais, is the glass borosilicate? Were the small beakers he dipped into a method of introducing what would become inert gas or the stuff that gets cooked off the cathode? Yeah, incroyable!

Here's another sample that is a little less over the top but yet still a feat.

I have some sand, maybe after that we can work on some opamps too or some pentiums. Actually, a big triangular block of germanium with some foil and wires stuck in it comes to mind just about now...

OK.

I quit.

+1 on needing the spot welder! That thing is so cool!

The two videos linked are just amazing. They are informative, but beyond that, they are a tribute to people's ingenuity and are just plain inspiring. Thank you for sharing them with us.
