Bobbintron - Pickup Winder
Bobbintron has emerged from the pre-apocalyptic dust on my bench, 5years in the making this project and finally finished it today. Now to get on with the job on actually building some pickups.

Very cool, looks like a fourteen year old's bed sheet under fluorescent light.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

This is the opposite of 'Rough and Ready'. Piece of art, well done. Let's hope the pickups will perform equally fine and dandy
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Did you adapt a paint mixing machine after it exploded?
I am, as ever, in awe at what some of you blokes can do.
