I must say that I 'm the kind of person that also try to find things that lay around to do objects that I love. I build also guitars: I've build three folk and a electric Les Paul guitar. When I was building the Les Paul, I thought that I needed a amp, and so I build a tube amp of 5 watt. I live in Belgium, and it's quite difficult to find unconventional electronics components: internet or I have to do a lot of kilometres, and not always you find what you are looking for. That's the same for the wood that I used to build my guitars. I like this statement:“An optimist is one who finds an opportunity in every difficulty. A pessimist is one who finds a difficulty in every opportunity.” It's easier if you have all the tools and materials to build things, and a lot of manuals are written with that kind of mentality. A real manual tells you how to solve problems that you may encounter on you build process, using conventional tools and materials. Bravo, bravo and bravo!
