Hi All,
I know we've all done some nice DIY projects, so I thought I'd start a thread where we could catalog some of the common and not so common tools and parts we all use. I'll start:
1. PVC pipe - IPS/SCH 200 is better than SCH 40. More interior volume, easier to cut.
2. PVC glue - Christy's Red Hot Blue glue is nice and is only a 1 part adhesive istead of 2
3. Deans Plugs - These increadibly nice plugs are used in RC Cars and make great connectors for DIY hoods/fans
4. Craftsman Heat Gun - Great for bending acrylic and pvc
5. Dremel - If it can do it, you probably don't need it done ;D
6. Loctite Gel - The best frag glue I can find anywhere
7. In line circuit breakers - When you have maxed you powerstrips and need to build your own power panel, these little things allow individual control of all of your breakers. Pacific Electronics in Concord
OK, that's just my beginning. I'm sure I'll think of more. I look forward to everyone elses ideas and suggestions.
