One of the reasons I got into software was to fulfill my burning creative need to build stuff. I get itchy if I don't have an outlet for it. I am glad to see other people interested in this stuff, too, though I must admit lately I am far more interested in building quick functional things rather than nice looking things. Over the summer, I built a surfboard rack on wheels with a cross bar for hanging wetsuits and towels. I'll post pictures when I get home.
I have somewhat limited tools as well, although I have been slowly acquiring things over the last few years. Garage sales are good, call ahead when you see them advertised in the local paper and check with the owner if there are any tools. Don't wait until the actual sale, if there is anything interesting make an offer. I got a great router, base, and fairly impressive set of bits for $30 that way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=17 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:142125 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
