Another great resource for homebrewing techniques can be found here:

https://www.kg7tr.com/

Scroll down to the "KG7TR Homebrewing Tips" button which will let you 
download a pdf.    I saw Mike make this presentation at one of the W9DYV 
Vintage Radio forums and was able to see the results in person - but you 
can do the same by just looking at any of the beautiful homebrew radios 
on his website.     Mike shows all the tools that he uses,  simple hand 
and power tools,  and emphasized that there is "nothing special" about 
his techniques.   I would only disagree to the point of saying that Mike 
does an exceptional job of planning and designing his projects before 
ever picking up the first tool, which is a discipline many of us lack.  
As in any craft, that advance planning translates directly into better 
results and fewer mistakes.   You'll see that Mike's planning leads to 
excellent-looking panels and documentation as well.   If you have any 
questions just drop him an email, I know he'd like nothing more than to 
see more ham homebrewing!
