Edvard:
I could watch this for days...

Check out this absolutely mesmerizing (17 minute!) video of a French amateur radio operator who rolls his own vacuum tube triodes! I love the ease with which he performs these rather high-end skills (like glass forming), the gestural flourishes (like it's hand magic), and the Zelig-esque soundtrack.

Not only does he make his own vacuum tubes, it looks like much of his equipment is hand-made as well.
Mesmerizing.
The win... you can smell it.

Je suis d'accord! So much so that I downloaded the HQ video.

Epic catch indeed. Thanks for sharing it. :Thmbsup:

Edvard:
moi aussi mon ami, moi aussi... I'm going to show it to my son when we have a night of free time.
It's only 17 minutes, but as with all informational media, he's got a ton of questions afterwards which I'm all too glad to answer until he runs out of them.
Ah, the joys of home-schooling.  :Thmbsup:
