[Mike Bracey]

The quality of his work is amazing! I wish I could come close to his level of craftsmanship.

Just wanted to say...I think Mike, KG7TR, is a homebrew genius.  I have admired his work for a long time, and I have a folder filled with the info from his website.  I find it inspirational that he uses tools that are readily available to most of us, and not that expensive.

Some of you may have seen the excellent work my friend Mike KG7TR has 
done in his ER articles on his homebrewed SSB gear as seen here:

Mike gave a presentation at the Jonesborough TN Central 
Electronics-Vintage SSB gathering this year on his construction methods 
and tools.  He stresses that he doesn't own a brake or shear and makes 
the panels and cabinets for all this beautiful gear using a square, 
sabre saw, and "lots of filing".    If you're in production, you want to 
use the right and best tool for the job but if you're a hobbyist making 
a one-off project,  patience and elbow grease are acceptable substitutes.
