Hi Scylla, I bought a box mod from Ian, and I can't wait to learn how to make my own! One of my delinquent eqine knows when the battery is flat on our electric fence unit and she plays football with it. I have had it apart many times and even made a temporary cover for it. I have endless patience for tinkering and it will be lovely to make..rather than FIX all the time! I keep checking Tony's post to see if he is home yet!!!!!!!

Brilliant Kat! I'm sure Tony will be thrilled to have such a willing and by the sound of it, able pupil.

I'll very happily 'watch' Tony . . . but it's really not safe for me to be handling anything more than a knife & fork.

Thank you for your confidence in me Tony but you haven't seen me in action with things that require some technical accumen, plus I don't have a solder thing . . . my 'tool box' consists of: 1 Large Hammer ( which I use for most things ) 1 Hacksaw ( very blunt ) 1 Large flat headed screwdriver 1 Phillips Screwdriver Glue ( my second favourite DIY aid ) A pair of pliers ( used for jewellery making ) And I think that's about it . .

soldering iron £4-5 (25w is plenty) 1 battery case £1.10 (2aa) led 50p battery connector (901 or 510) 5 for £4.95 cloud 9 solder 60/40 is about £2 for a lot switch 1.5a varies hun depending on what you you want it has tobe N/O SWITCH NOT N/C momentary switch 50p upwards Then when you have all this you dont have to stop there you will grt the moders bug hope this persuades you tony

I have the slowest broadband imaginable, I can boil the kettle and make a brew whilst its loading. If anything is done live, I will be biting my keyboard and chucking my teddy out the pram. When I watch the nice chap doing the e-cig reviews, I sit and watch the loading clock go around about ten times during a 4 minute review, (I nearly chewed through a 510 cart once, I was so angry!) Tony, if you do anything live, I will miss half of it and probably end up making a remote control for next doors catflap!

I hope Tony's OK, I would have thought he'd have popped in by now ???
Kat, re watching YouTubes - sometimes if you pause them for a while the loading continues, then you can play uninterrupted. Only sometimes though.

Hi Scylla, yes have tried it, I give it as long as I dare and then I get cut off ARRRRRRRRGH ??? We can only get very basic broadband here and if my neighbours are on, I have to wait ages before connecting. Complained to BT with no joy. Our landline goes off for days sometimes. The excuse for the broadband is that we live too far from the exchange, about 2.5 miles!
