Hey Alan,
I am almost speechless with your dedication to what many, many folk would find tedious and mind numbing! I'll have to reply to quoted sections to address it.
... Over 2,000 soldered connections and I am alive to tell of it. Glad my soldering iron doesn't have an hour meter on it!
See opening paragraph. At the thought of doing that many connections I would have found a job shop to pre-make the bare-end harnesses for me, like I did for some RF connector pigtails we needed at work a few back. It was cheaper than having me make them.
Amazing how much progress can be made when you don't have to go to work six days a week!
Amazing how little can be accomplished when you don't (read can't) go to work too. I wish I could have accomplished something as grand as what you have done in the same timeframe.
The next blog post will feature so much wire it may give the dead rail folks seizures.
Don't worry about the dead rail folk, I'd be more worried the copper thieves in my country might see the post and come after your layout
