Thanks Anonymous Pick. It was my first experiemental build and i rushed through it in around 90mins. Kinda got carried away. But it was a good learning experience and great fun. Cant wait to start my next, already have the box ready and apparently the wife supports my new addiction. Haha. The punch pictured was gifted to me around a year ago and has been neglected due to the pace of life but now getting some attention.

Welcome to the addiction, I'm sure you'll build more.
Got to have a guitar if you want to learn how to play.

Very true Paul, and to be honest this new addiction is helping me kick an old one, so the enthusiasm to succeed is definitely there ☺

Been there, done that. Stopped after one night ended in a 3 day hangover. Almost died from Alcohol Poisoning. Apparently it's a bad idea to chase Whiskey with Beer in mass with a couple of downers in your system. ;)
