Re: "Low-tech solar panels (by Low Tech Magazine)"
@stack It is curious you mention the telescope because of course I found about the guide to build a Dobson telescope (or at least, some of the manual and the rest awaits into a manual you can buy) and it took me a while to find how to adhere the metal to the crystal after grinding.
Another problem to do chemistry, turning, woodworking, etc... in Europe at least, is the lack of space at home where you can safely do these things. Heck, it is even hard to have a small black and white development laboratory.

1877-2009... I guess 2009 was a bad year for machinists.

this has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen from Low Tech Magazine. Gaaaaaaah I wanna try this myself now.
— Low-tech Solar Panels (from the Low Tech Magazine)
Low-tech solar panels (by Low Tech Magazine) — I just share it out of curiosity, a very interesting read about solar panels and the possibility that they could be built in an "artisan" way.
