More stuff:

I gathered all the parts today, chassis box, transformers, tube sockets, tubes, passive parts, and blank eyelet board:

I did intend to use some NOS bakelite sockets, but I stumbled upon a bunch of nice ceramic ones, so I think I'll use those instead.

I'm lucky in that Mrs. Tung (aka SWMBO) has allowed me to have an entire room in the basement to use as my shop. Since it gets very messy when I build a project she likes that I can just shut the door and she doesn't have to look at it.

The shop itself is a 10' x 12' room with two benches, a closet for storage, bookshelves for my tube amp/electronics books, and storage for my tubes, transformers and various other parts.

Here are a few pix of my shop:

The next step is to make and stuff the eyelet board, then drill all the holes in the chassis and mount all the components to it.

You can almost smell the testosterone, can't you?
