Temp controller and housing

I made this housing from scrap wood in the garage.

The temperature controller is this little proportional job that is a socket-mount unit. The socket mounts on a DIN rail. The temp probe (thermocouple) connects to a small connector on the back of the housing. Has sensor break protection, and I fused it for overload protection.

Not any better than the herp proportional controllers offered (Helix, Spyder, etc), just fun to mess around with and wire up on my own.
