It looks like he built much of his own equipment as well. The Make poster notes:

'Check out this absolutely mesmerizing (17 minute) video of a French amateur radio operator who rolls his own vacuum tube triodes. I love the ease with which he performs these rather high-end skills (like glass forming), the gestural flourishes (like it's hand magic), and the Zelig-esque soundtrack.'"

[This is a fascinating and enjoyable demonstration of a skilled technician (Lab Technician perhaps?) making vacuum tubes. Yes, it can be done...] Moderator
