    That looks cool. My reaction was a greater appreciation for the miracles of technology that surround us everyday that we take completely for granted. No idea if that is what you were aiming for, but I like it.
    Mantra: No more pedals, must finish BlueyCaster...
    Disclaimer: I haven't done woodwork since high school, and wasn't really paying attention at the time ...

    Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I'm going for. I had a show in 2018 at the Contemporary Art Space in Manuka, and I had about 40 watercolours of components (resistors, capacitors and transistors) and then in the middle of the room I had a turntable hooked up to a stereo amp and preamp that I'd built into a clear plastic box.

    It was great! People got such a kick out of being able to see inside the box, even though it's not like looking inside a printing press or engine where you can see the mechanism at work.

    It was also interesting because all these people I'd never met came in for lengthy chats about their time spent as electrical engineers, radio operators, computer programmers, etc.
