Time for a new project - let's build a turntable!  Alright, let's start with the basics. What do I need? I've searched everywhere and nowhere, and these are the used components:       - Two speakers       - Transformator (230V to 12V)      - Quite some cables       - Wood for the housing (I used birch and fire)       - Mounting materials (wood glue / screws / nuts and bolts)      - control knobs      - if you want/need: 6.35 to 3.5 mm convertor jack      - turntable plateau (only some components were connected..)     - amplifier, I chose for not a mono amp, but a stereo.

So I thought: 'Why not?'. I can learn new skills, and get to research things even more! And I still have some free time that I am able to spend, so it only has got positive sides. Let's get started!  [October 2018] Well, if I will build a guitar, let me first do some research. What will I need? Well, ehm.. Let me think. I will need wood for the neck and body. I will need cables for the electronics. I will need so much more! So let me sum it up, instead of making it a way too long story.  Summed up, this is what I needed:  - Frets (I used 24, it's also common to use 21 or 19, depending on what guitar a
