From the very simple to the most complicated it seems to me to a valid case for just such a forum. I am going to start a thread very soon on a basic build of a pre-amp for a guitar and I hoped that many would contribute other mods, repairs and builds. However I wonder if a thread is enough as it would be hard to follow, a forum would have multiple threads (hopefully) and maybe even circuit bending could come back.
In this economy a DIY approach is a great way of adding gear, making repairs and saving money. As much as KvR is about supporting developers it would be great to bring out the craftsman in all of us. Covering everything from hardware to software, simple to hard and even the most unique things I have the utmost confidence it would benefit KvR in many ways. I understand from watching my local news that even apps for mobile devices often are not hard to create. While we do have a forum for apps discussing how to create them seems like a great idea to me.
I think many people are more capable of such things than they believe, I know when it comes to electronics I am a layman at best and taking on projects is not only a great way to save money and learn, it also really helps my understanding of how things work. The whole buy a man a fish, teach a man to fish metaphor comes to mind.
I hope you give this some consideration and thanx for your time
