I am not going to post any pics of my feeble DIY effort now!
Had a frozne fingers moment in the garage this afternoon and I can tell by the cock eyed holes i drilled for the input sockets and speaker posts. Its too ****** cold to work outdoors up here! And i won't have the indoor workspace until next june at the soonest.
I received everything except the toroid cover today to start the job so i still need to mark out and drill the holes to mount the tagboard standoffs. I'll be happy if it works as per the design brief and without annoying hum.
The woodwork there looks very nice, I wish I had the tools and ability to make joints like that but 2 left hands with 10 thumbs leaves me rather useless!

They look like they mean business and I guess your heating will be supplemented!
