Totally hilarious --- and ridiculous. I sold a bike frame to someone in Canada once. That was held up forever. They though there was dope stashed in the tubes!

One little tool that is a constant friend while building a project like the Crack amp (been there, done that!) is a set of curved forceps. They are perfect for every single task of placement, wrapping, holding in place, etc. My "go too" tool when I build a project....money very well spent!

Finally everything is here! Turns out the $125 dollars I saved up with the speedball upgrade offer I ended up spending on shipping and customs Anyway, im blown away by the kit and the accompanying manuals. Relishing the opportunity to start building it. I purchased one of those minty boost kits to practice a bit of soldering. The cardas solder is here as well. Oh and John, I have those forceps. Im a trainee physician. Tons of good stuff I can use for DIY from the surgeon's trolley
