Some things are not even worth half of the buying price

quality is an intelligent effort.

Say it louder for the corporations who are playing deaf.

Oh, and a decently equipped woodworking shop setup in the garage for making cabinets for projects.

Take pics of those radios when you can, I'd be interested as would others on this forum.

Talent never dies.

Do you like BLUE? (my favorite color)
I did a sweet portable AM/FM radio in Patriotic Blue a few years ago.
3/4 inch pine case, custom lighted dial and big assed speaker.

As if they ever listen...... anymore.

Did you do the electrical? I can critique it and the subpanel. I am good with calling out code violations. Not that I assume you'd be the one to do so.

Of course I did!
I design and build things with a "one-of-a-kind" design in mind.
And anything built with commercial designs or parts are modified by me to my stringent standards.

That blue radio kicks ass with nice tone quality, great reception, and runs for hundreds of hours on 6 "D" batteries, or AC adapter.

And here's a cool "Stereo" table radio that I made a couple of years go.
It's actually got twin mini woofers and tweeters in each side, angled outwards for impressive stereo seperation.
Flywheel tuning, custom lighted dial, and my trademark 3/4 inch cabinet.
I use it in my bedroom when I take a nap.

Post pics when you can, and the subpanel with the cover off.

Ok, now that is beautiful

You mean the rear panel?
Take a peak....
I hand craft the dials, even the numerals, design the LED lighting, and custom design the tuning mechs for silky-smooth operation.
It's tedious, sure, but the end result is so much better than mass-produced stuff.

No, the electric panel for the workshop. But that can wait.

Either way, I like the build quality of your radio. Impressive.

I'm not sure I'm understanding you Chet....
Do you mean the circuit breaker box?
It's the main one for the house, nothing specials - 20 breakers.

How many circuits to the shop?

I assumed you had installed a subpanel for the shop, never mind then.
