That was my first ever post on this forum, no idea why the photos turned onto their side, they were the right way up on my PC.

[neonixie-l] Re: Welcome & please introduce yourself!
> Hi all, > I gained a degree in Product Design in the eighties, initially designing by hand with pen and pencil then later learning CAD and drafting when PC's became affordable/powerful enough. In 1988 I had an epiphany in a movie theater when I saw a 5 minute animated short film "Tin Toy" by Pixar, being shown before the main feature. As a result I shifted career sideways into technical 3D computer generated animations and architectural visualizations for the next 27 years until finally I lost the passion for it. Realizing I needed to re-invent myself, I took some time off to think. I was always into designing lighting, furniture, playing with audio gear and tinkering with basic electronics, With the advent of cheaper CNC prototyping tools such as 3D printers and CNC routers I thought I would get back into Product Design. The idea was to start making low production run, high quality, designer items. I just wasn't sure what to make, I just needed something small and easy. I want the stuff I make to be durable and be handed down through generations. I hate the "planned obsolescence" inherent in most products we buy. Another epiphany came soon after in late 2015 on a world trip. On my last night in Osaka, Japan before flying back home I stumbled across a hobbyist electronics / robotics store. In among the multitude of kits on offer were some Nixie tube and VFD tube clock kits. I knew this was something I wanted to do. I have spent the last 2 years collecting knowledge, tools and parts to make quirky, durable products. Nixie clocks, lamps, speakers and amps are the main focus.The workshop is set up and prototypes are being made. It's taken a long time as I am working a full time day job in an unrelated field to pay the bills but hopefully will transition into becoming a maker full time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
