I think it's super cool that the one Soundboard that you spent so many man-hours of work on ended up on exactly the message board you surf. Your refurb also reminds me a lot of what my Dad does for a hobby - Fix up a metal working machine with the machines he has, then sell one of the old ones and keep the new one. He puts so many hours of labour into each one, it's impressive.
Oh, man. If he doesn't know about Dave Gingery you've got your Christmas gifts covered 'til rapture. There's something joyous about machine tools that woodworking or plastics just can't touch. I've actually never been on those boards before; I was looking up a "Wheatstone Audioarts LM-80" for some other conversation on Reddit and stumbled across that thread, live. The amazing thing is two days later the guy who pulled the board back in '96 showed up.

Don't ask. If he had a vast assortment of "crotchety-old-man-with-a-metal-shop books" you'd know. Gingery has a series of books that's basically "how to turn beer cans and used shovels into a mutherfucking car factory." Sucka does not fuck around.
He DOES have a ridiculous amount of back issues of Home Shop Machinist, but i don't recall Gingery's name. I think I know what he's getting for father's day.
