How I homebrew a power supply

So this came up in another thread, and I know there are plenty of instructions on the net to do this, but I thought maybe someone might be interested to see what I was talking about, and how I do it.

Level 3, Advanced soldering station, variable power supply
Level 4, Oscilloscope, signal generator
Level 5, Amal’s place. Maybe Saturn9’s
Level 6, Cyberdyne Systems.

Beginner (just take it apart and have a look/poke maybe fix it)

Intermediate ( ok were going to fix this or build something)

Serious ( right im designing this and gonna mod that)
