Sadly I only went to You Do it once and it was really amazing. It was before the pandemic in their full glory. My co-worker is a big ham guy and he needed some stuff to repair a couple radios as well as some connectors for his various antennas. He was in there all the time and immediately was greeted by a sales guy who dove right into a deep conversation about dipole yaggi's, etc.

I wandered the aisles, just amazed. They had a pretty decent 3d printing corner as well.

Sadly, I think the market for building your own electronics is continuously shrinking.
