Some final pics of "The Marv"

(click on a pic to enlarge)

"The Marv".  Named after my dad who instilled in me a love for building things.  Most of the tools I used (drill-press, mill, punches, bits, etc.) were his, as were a handful of the parts (the biasing socket, lamp socket and jewel).  Not an hour went by working on this when I didn't think of him and yeah, that's one of the main reasons I built it.  And now, I think of him every time I fire it up.
