Remarkable stuff.
I agree completely with what you say about the word "amateur" as the only reward is that of a job well done, not doing the least work for the most money.
One job on my list is to make a case for my AVO but it won't be to anything like these standards. Still, I'm 'only' 41 so there should be time to improve.
Keep posting this sort of stuff as it's fascinating. OK, it's predominantly a vintage radio forum but, as you said in your first post we have other interest and things over-lap. At it's simplest it's useful knowledge if anybody wanted to turn new radio knobs.
I'm afraid I don't get up to anything so interesting as I'm a general jack of all trades doing general DIY and who enjoys fixing things, especially those that are "Beyond repair."
Keep up the good work, and I mean both the turning and telling us about it.
All the best
