Part 2 - Tools

Some of the tools I used:

Power supply and multi-meter:

Thermal compound and thinner.

My rotary tool � everything was done with the flex shaft.

Hexagonal and variably wrench.

Some files.

Hand drill holder (most of the holes in the project are done with it).

Ultramodern, high-quality plastic meter � bought for a mere fraction of a dollar.

Soldering iron, flux, compound, cutting tool.

Home made thermal regulator for the soldering iron.

Some drawing gear.

Tool for cutting M5 thread.

Hot glue gun.

Hole widener.

Some of the dremel bits.

My heat gun, doesn�t do much work though, good only for hair :-)

Some energy food. Who counts first how many youghurts are there on the pictures, wins one :-)
