Thanks to Paul Taylor VK3HN for alerting me to the YouTube channel of Andreas Spiess. There are lots of great projects there, including several videos on building an Oscar 100 ground station. In the video above, Andreas talks about his lab/workshop. He is more focused on digital projects than I am, but I found many of his tips applicable to the analog world. And of course the more digitally oriented readers will find Andreas's observations especially useful. I was sold on this video when Andreas reached to his book shelf and showed us Tracey Kidder's "Soul of the New Machine." That is the book that brought the word "soul" into the SolderSmoke lexicon. There are many great videos on Andreas's channel. I found his Playlists page to be a good way to see the many different catergories of his projects: https://www.youtube.com/c/AndreasSpiess/playlists Thanks Andreas.
Glad you liked The Guy With The Swiss Accent. His videos are well researched and presented. He has,a slightly dry sense of humour. I don't know if that is typical of the Swiss, as I don't know many Swiss, but it is refreshing. And he obviously has a big following of knowledgeable makers judging by the comments. Paul VK3HN.
