wow, that's pretty neat. Thanks for the compilation and easy read.
I'm trying to get a DIY educational meet sometime this year in NYC/NJ. So folks can carry out easy projects in front of DIY noobs.

Great idea! Unfortunatly, NYC might be 6000km from my home town:frown:

I'm supposed to be in Maine but I can change.
