Don't know if this topic has wings or not but thought it may be handy/useful/inspiring to highlight DIY sites of note you've found around the web. Not strictly physical resources (the other thread covers those), more sites that just make you go wow/cool/whatever and fire up a few inspiration synapses.

For instance:

http://www.groenewoudnet.nl/?page_id=15

Many diy projects; repackaging old synths, homemade spring reverbs, plate reverbs etc.

not a site, so probably not what youre after, but joe meeks bold techniques has some notes/info about his "black box reverb" admittedly not much, but it inspired me to grab and old wooden box and hang a slinky in it HiHi
i havent gotten round to incorporating ins and outs yet, so other than hitting it and gooing "ooh!" at the lovely spring noise it aint a hella lot of use.

To laymen, software development is something akin to wizardry. Neither time, nor effort are involved. If software is missing features they want, or has bugs, it is solely because someone has been too lazy to wave their magic wand.
