I totally agree. I really enjoy John and his experiments. They always give me ideas for things I would like to try myself. :-)
Hi Lesley, Oh yes there is a whole bunch of fun things you can do just by being creative. Lots of electronic kits out there if you know how to use a soldering iron. I love to use my hands to build stuff! Ok Lesley maybe John will pop in here. CU later and hurry to get aboard the next telephone booth to get a ride into the next dimension. Dah Dit Dah
