His wires are insulated, though, by air. They'll be shielded as soon as he puts the cover on.

The trick is to use an electrician plier, with 1cm tip and two ways to bend in exactly 90º

OK, you've inspired me. I just ordered some tiny tip pliers.

What is the wire? Is it 22 gauge bus wire? <-- I'm guessing something like that?

That's right! Its important a metal grounded enclosure.

To be honest: I really don't know. It's was a old tv cable I was to throw, and just by curiosity, I've peeled with a cutter. I'll check closely wich kind of gauge it is: but it's nice because it's not too soft and not to hard to bend. I've tried a few gauges of random cables I've found in my backyard.
When using copper, it's important to heat well before apply solder: if it is at the correct temperature, solder apply clean and quick.

No need to check! I like your style: find something that works.

I dug around my old wire bin and found some stiff magnet wire that might do the trick once I peel back the insulation.

I've also used wiring out of an old TV set, and an old washing machine. So I'm sure I'll find something around my personal junkyard that will work. Thanks for the inspiration.

12 or 14 ga romex house wire. (2.0 or 1.6 mm)

It was mentioned to me that what I was attempting could result in unwanted inductance.
ie, that between two parallel wires. Any comments from those familiar with that would be interesting. I did find a calculator on the net.

That's the spirit! Of course.. My most nostalgic part on each build I keep, is to use Philips orange capacitors rescued from an old TV that was used almost 40 years, and all my childhood.
There's something of that in use something or part of something that works I guess

And now for something with zero NOS components and much less skill required People (bassists) had been asking me for a while if I would ever make a tube preamp with DI output, so I did. Finally.

Hello!
I've been building some pedals again lately but I'm out of etchant, I simply can't find it...
So I had to "etch" some wood with the CNC 



Cheers!
Fernando.

Looks brilliant!

Just came across this, round nose, jewellers pliers are the tool for the job.

Round-nose pliers are the standard for aircraft / spacecraft use for lead-bending and general wiring since they do not nick the wire.

Bending 90 degrees is ok, use care when bending 180 as electrons are apt to change direction of spin resulting in a reverse polarity.

Is important too to bend 90º, then 90º again in the opposite direction (90º-90º=0º), or it may cause voltage reduction or increase

Went a little out of the ordinary on this one, originally planned it as an April Fool's joke. It's a Dr. Boogey Artwork was drawn by the bassist of my band, who also does contract work as a cartoonist.





and quite possibly the tidiest layout I've ever done:

[kaycee]

Bajaman's (from da otha place) Trembulator - re-take of the Demeter Tremolo, after the old Fender amp tremolo circuits.

I added a switch to put capacitors in parallel to extend the rate range and put a 10K trim to fine tune the rate control itself. I used Mictesters vero, but Harald's is much nicer: https://www.sabrotone.com/baja-trembulator-layout/

Face is a wood veneer with copper panel, I was going to stamp it, but you can't anneal copper with an induction hob

I'm getting carried away with new stuff again My take on the Verellen Meatsmoke preamp.

are you going for the most knobs per square meter award, Nathan?

I mean if we're taking down names, sure put me in the running

Is the client a tiny-handed, ex-potus?   

Nice work as always, Nathan.
