Tube amp build (s)

[McCreed]

I'm not ready to take on an amp build (likely never will) but I'm planning a extension cabinet build (which I've discussed with Andy40 through PM's) but I've discovered a pattern that is common throughout anything I build.
I feel the need to have every little piece, part, wire and tiniest screw in my possession before commencing anything beyond the planning stage.

Sometimes it can't be helped due to supply issues etc, but there's something in my brain that says I need to have A to Z first!
Is it just me, or do you guys find this happening?

I've experienced this with guitar builds too but sometimes a plan change occurs mid-build and then I have no choice but to wait.
Maybe I really do have some form of OCD...

I'm a bit like that too, usually I start with working-out what I want to build, then I grab some A4 printer paper and a pen, or pencil, then I write out a comprehensive list of all the parts I'll need, and then it's off to my local Jaycar Electronics shop if I'm building a pedal, or, I go online and visit the Evatco website if I'm doing any amp-building/repairing stuff, I tend to wait till I've got all the bits and pieces I need before starting the build/repair process.

Hmm, I've never really thought about it, but I don't think I'm like that at all lol. I think I build the way I paint - kind of reactive, just seeing what looks good as I go, or changing ideas as I build/read/think about it. At least when it comes to aesthetic choices - circuit design is a different thing, and I'm very envious of people who can modify a circuit on the fly.
