Great thread today Snippy. This is a crystal radio Spiderboy and I built last winter.
The chasis with circuit schematic carefully applied.
Winding the coil
Coil taps for limited tuning.
The complete radio. The the candy striped wire running to the left is going to a cold water pipe. The antenna was snaked out behind. 
Have I ever mentioned the Telegraph ssytem we have in the house?

Wow, great radio and really neat that you built one with spiderboy, he'll remember that always I bet.
You have a telegraph system too? Geez, all I ever had was a piece of string and two cans.
