Thanks - I was trying to complete it a bit more before revealing to the
world :-)

But its coming on.

yeap, it has 4 phonos - connections to Pc in node zero, a Scart socket other
end of the cable is in node 0 and the four banana plugs - these are the
speaker sends into the dining room.

And the plates for Coax at the far end too...

The other thing to look at if you are doing back boxes, is one of the
templates you can buy for these.

I cannot find a picture online, but it is basically a stitch drill
template, about the size of a double gang box, but can be used for
singles too.

I used one of these alot, I could then knock out a back box in under
20mins, (I know not box sinker speeds, but this thing was under a fiver)

There are some shots of the wholes I dug out with this on my website:

(this site is work in progress, but feel free to have a look!)

Aidan,

IMO the box sinker is more worthwhilst than the
chisels - they are ok, but I finbd it more efficient to
cut two tracks up or along the wall with a normal flat
sds chisel first, then use one of the conduit shaped
ones to clean the slot out.
