    Bottleheads beware!

    He could hand make triodes for rich audiophiles 2 at a time for exorbitant sums!

    I learned a lot watching that.

    Great dexterity, yes?

    He's definitely a HAM radio op, I agree.

    Great vid! I don't know much about tubes but it was still an interesting DIY.

    It's funny how he starts the vid using swiss army knife scissors for tin-snips, but he has great tools/equipment for everything else.
