Very nice!
I would like to be able to build something like that again, but my 76 year old eyes won't let me. |

Great looking product Tim.
As I looked over the next-to-last photo, I couldn't help noticing you use Kester solder (the very best) along with raw honey. It would be a Fluke if that's not a sweet-sounding amp.
Congratulations on a offering great product. . . made here at home!
Best regards,

I plugged my steel into Jeremy's new little Milkman last night at the gig. Very cool small amp for guitar and steel!

the jar of honey pictured actually holds a bunch of tiny pieces of multicolored heat shrink sized to hold the ends of the cloth covered wire and protect from fraying. The thought is that in 50 years, the wires will look identical to how they did when I wired up the amp not be a frayed mess like an old Fender
I am kind of OCD that way - must match heat shrink color to wire color 
Regarding the 2002 - I miss mine too! Sold it just about a year ago. Traded, actually, for cash and a 1965 Gibson J-45

Me thinks you made a wise decision. |

Tim, it looks like you may be using epoxy-glass for the board, and the drill template taped on top would indicate you're drilling it yourself. If so, be very careful working with that stuff! The dust created from machining/drilling it can be extremely hazardous.  |

You should probably get rid of that solder, too.
Lead free is a hassle to work with, but it's not so poisonous.... |

Leaded solder is fine for low temp stuff like this if you don't smoke and wash hands often.
