ThinkerToys
|
|
If you are interested in building some multi-tier equipment shelves for your
Ham Radio or Music Equipment the you might want to take a look at this site: |
| Ultimate Support |
|
This company makes this stuff to hold music equipment, pro audio equipment,
medical equipment and bicycles. You can build shelves and desk that will not
bend or warp under weight and look good. I built three levels of shelves with
this stuff to hold my Icom equipment. The only tools required are an Allen
wrench and a small pipe cutter (hack saw will do). The wood shelves and desktop
I used were from Home Depot. The supporting hardware to hold the wood shelving
together was from Ultimate Support. About the only Ultimate parts I used were:
UNF-150 Universal Fitting, TFG-150 T-Fitting, and both the thick wall and thin
wall tubing (usually comes in six foot lengths). Take a look at the examples
page. |

I built a desk and shelves in about two hours. This stuff is like putting
together Tinker Toys (they call them ThinkerToys). |
Preac Tools
|
|
If you are interested in small tools take a look at this site: |
| Preac Tool Company |
|
Charlie Files makes the best minature tools I have seen. This stuff is built like
a tank. I first noticed Preac by seeing reviews of Charlie's table saw on a model
ship building list. If you have ever seen the skill it takes to build a model of
a tall ship, then imagine what type of tools these modelers use - then think of
Preac. Below are some pictures of his tools. |

The pictures above are of the table saw, thickness sander, and drill press. I
have all three of these tools and love them! |
Sherline Tools
|
|
Another great small tools manufacturer. |
| Sherline Precision Miniature Machine Tools |
|
Currently, I have the long lathe (4400) and 8-directional mill (2000). |
|

|
The pictures above are of the Sherline Products (Lathes and Mills) and Sherline Accessories. I
would reccomend these products to anyone looking for a miniature lathe or mill. |
KGO AM 810 Radio
|
|
KGO in the San Francisco Bay Area is my favorite radio station. When I had to
commute a couple of hours a day, the only pleasurable part of that experience
was listening to KGO. KGO is a News Talk radio station. It is an ABC affiliate.
What I enjoy about KGO is the wide variety of information I obtained by just
listening. KGO not only has politics (all sides of the issues), but has diverse
and interesting programming. Some of the topics include astronomy, technology,
medicine, resturant reviews, etc. After listening, I always felt I learned
something new.
When I moved to Atlanta, I tuned into the local ABC affiliate - WSB. What a
disappointment. This station is nothing but hate radio. I tried listening for
a couple of months, but felt like it was a waste of time. I turned off the
radio and switched to "books on tape". I was excited when KGO started providing
streaming audio. |

My favorite host on KGO is Ronn Owens. Ronn is politically moderate.
His book "Voice of Reason - Why the Left and Right are Wrong" is very
balanced. I don't always agree with him, but he's always interesting.
Ronn has his own site. It can be found at the following link: |
