What's to laugh at Fredrik? Looks nice! Simple.. but nice! Just might want to 
add some cable retention devices (zip ties.. ;) And add an insulator to the 
bottom of that perf board. Wood isn't an adequate insulator for higher 
voltages.  Oh.. and maybe and MOV or two and a fuse on the primary (if 
there's not one already).
