The tools I always reach for first when I DO build something are:
A 6" Starrett pocket rule, a wicked ice pick, small flashlight,
magnifing glass, long tweezers, small dykes, razor knife, scissors,
bamboo skewer, 1/2" roll of masking tape, a piece of 220 sandpaper, 40
mesh screen glued to a piece of 4" aluminum pipe, 10" long 1/2" dowel
rod, a red marker (fine point), small cups, 150g scale, paper plates,
2" paint brush, 1/8" drill bit, and plastic spoons.
I have a extinguisher, and cat treats at hand, plus take all my blood
pressure meds, and Wellbutrin.
I have added a notepad for taking notes like, "fail, ouch, oops", and
cuss words I want to remember.
I don't take my Zippo.
I'm bringing this up 'cause I've got this real cool briefcase that I
want to fill with the necessaries for field work like those techs that
work on large office printers.
I also wear gl*****.
I stopped taking cheap beer, 'cause they don't make briefcases big
enough for those needs.
Any other ideas?
