It's a pity I'm not still on the jobs market, you could have written my CV...
However, I may have misled you a little bit....
I like to see a tidy printed circuit board, not only does it make it easy to work on and troubleshoot any problems, it also satisfies my fastidious nature...
Since I had to add a couple of larger resistors I couldn't replace them where I had planned, so they are stuck up in the air a little bit. The upside is, I don't have to remove the circuit board now if they are unsuitable, or need adjusting, but they don't look so good....
But since they are enclosed in the outer casing, they are not visible, so alls well.....

Re: Foxy's Latest Project.
Storage becomes a problem when you only live in a two bedroom bungalow, and the obvious place is in the loft. But apart from my workshop being up there, and I need to stop it getting congested, I also have to be careful about placing weight on the ceilings. So I began construction of a heavy shelf, where heavy items can be stored and they will be out of the way.The inside wall on the gable end will make a perfect place to site the shelf so work following the planning stage, I set to work on the frame which will be totally supported by the wall.
I decided to use my chop saw to cut fifteen lats that will provide the base of my shelf.
First thing to do is to make a stop for the chop saw so I can make all the pieces the same size without having to measure and mark out each one. It worked perfectly and took no time at all to cut all fifteen. Here are photos of the chop saw with the stop attached.....
