2010-09 Stereo patch bus

Tired of plugging in various new devices for recording or playback. It's a chore and messy to the point where I'm deferring audio projects on account of it.
Some simple patch panels to allow selecting / routing inputs and out puts are needed.

2010-08 Theremin

A Theremin from a kit but then re-cased to look less ugly and more in keeping with it's ethereal quality.
The case is a wooden box of mystery I found in a junk shop. The kit is the revised one from Jay Car. I did Not add the mods' for more linear tone control or timbre controls. Save that for version II I think.

It's just about what I thought it would be like to play. The volume panel is counter-intuitive in that it's quieter the closer you place you han. I'd like it to be silent until your hand is near.

You adjust the length of the antenna until the tone drops to nothing when your hand is away from it then you're set.

2009-05 PA Bonsai

I've let the projects get too big and choke me. So a small one this time: I save a small seedling growing at the foot of the front steps a few weeks back and found a good pot at a junk shop that should be all I need.
OK, un-pot it. I don't know what it is; Manuka or Totara. I hope the first.
According to http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Bonsai-Tree the pot should have drain holes. This I have.
Put gravel in the bottom and then soil.
Tree seedling goes in.
Soil carefully added and pressed down.
Moss added.
Rocks added.
Post apocalypse wreckage added.
Make a wooden stand.
And finished.

The moss looks great. Hopefully it will swallow the wrecked toy hummer a bit . I'd have liked some better rocks but these are OK and maybe I can address that when it gets re-potted in a year or so.
