Do you also sleep sometimes

You know, my problem is that I like to enjoy what I do. But than there are many things that I enjoy, and really there is not enough time.
On another note, listen this. I went to a book store to buy Stereophile with article about BAF. So while I was there I picked a few more magazines. I randomly picked what looked good and I took Absolute Sound and British HI - FI News. I came home and after reading Stereophile article, I went on perusing through other two. So I am slowly going through the HI-FI News and than I came to page 35...

The pleasures of the machine shop, the soldering station, the tool belt ... You just can't beat it for a more rewarding life.
Keep the faith ...
My wife feels the same.
Joking really, she always supported me with all my obsessions. She even helped me when I was veneering my speakers.

Just wanted to add some drama and suspense, ha
(Add some music from "Twilight Zone")
There is an article titled " Burning Amps, rattlin rafters" and it is report from BAF 09. In a British magazine that I just randomly picked from the shelf? The same month - February, just like Stereophile?
So I am ether psychic or BAF is so big that everyone writes about it?
I believe it took me around 6 months of work, but I was working on and off any time I had free time. I did brushed finish and powder coating as well which worked well, but anodizing would look better for the front panel.
Regarding next project I have several planned. Learning how to do transformer winding. I have really nice vacuum tube preamp that I am planning to modify - to loose output caps and use output transformers instead. I hate caps and I love transformers. Next I am waiting for F3 F4 and F5 boards, so I could experiment and see how they are sounding. Than I am planning to make new cases for my 6 channel balanced volume control... Than I would like to learn more on digital side - DACs... I do not know way too many things are going on.

That heatsink info from AR2 could be a godsend!
And yes he does have all that equipment! He helped me with my cwaaazy F4 towers.
Clearly I'm not as ambitious in my projects so I need to scrounge a bit: the silver transformer cover is an Ikea pan, and the Stainless steel cover plates on the sides are rearview mirror parts!
A really generous guy! Now that we are famous we need to get on with planning 2009- I somehow doubt the article was about BAF 2009,
prob 2008..
