I'm good. Thanks. I did an internship in late 1800s living for a couple of years on a remote mountain. And I've had jigs to wind coils since the early '70s (ham radio, dontchaknow). Caps are easy, if ugly.

I can and have built crystal radios with a chunk of galena, an empty cigarette pack, a sheet of newspaper, a toilet paper roll and a bunch of wire.

It's good for cooks to know the basics of technology, and how to build them from scratch. You just never know what might happen in a commercial kitchen.
