[sdiy] Christmas Projects - first results

[John Alex Hvidlykke]

It is great to see the young take to electronics. I presently work in an electronics shop, and we have been busy mailing starter kits, soldering irons  and multimeters to parents.

For my own Christmas projects I have been painting the ceiling of my soon-to-be home studio and continuing several speaker projects, including a large-scale subwoofer, nearfield monitors and a pair of home speakers.

Cheers John
