Thats gives me an Idea.

Foam Board

[tybrenis]

Foam board words pretty well for mock-ups. I think the best is still the single ply type cardboard, I'm trying to remember its name... someone want to help me out here? You can get it at craft stores, its fairly thick and rigid and it holds itself well.

****, I know what you're talking about, too.

You could always just buy tons of manila folders, too. :up:

foam board pwns all.

just go behind your local chamber of commerce after a meeting. I got about 20 sheets (2ft x 3ft) of it for free.

[Eclecticos]

Well I picked up all that stuff yesterday. I decided I was going to wait. . and goto Home Depot this weekend for a Dremel.

What kind should I get, I've seen battery powered and Corded?

I was thinking about getting one with the Flexible Shaft are they worth the extra Money?

Is there any particular bit I'm gonna need to cut aluminum?

[xRyokenx]

Unless the cord is a problem, I'd go with the corded one, you'll have a more steady power source, as in, your battery won't die on ya while you're modding... the battery powered one won't have a cord to get in your way though, it's all a matter of preference, unless there's something about Dremels that I don't know of, like a quirk or something when it comes to whether they're cordless or not...

[Eclecticos]

I went ahead and got this one: Black and Decker w/Accessories.

Card Stock? I think.

At any rate I have a stack of it I saved while unpacking something at work.

[tybrenis]

I was thinking about chipboard before, not cardstock or anything else.

18 or 20 gauge wire in assorted colors perhaps?
Soldering gun and solder if you don't already have it.
A small First Aid Kit. Paul sent me one in the grab bag that I won on Ebay, and it's already earned its keep.

18 or 20 gauge wire in assorted colors perhaps?
Soldering gun and solder if you don't already have it.<<<Do NOT get the instant on cool to the touch soldering iron, they DO NOT WORK!
A small First Aid Kit. <<<Great suggestion! (as my knuckle is bleeding from being split open on a heat sink) Paul sent me one in the grab bag that I won on Ebay, and it's already earned its keep.

Great suggestions DrumThumper!

Oops, forgot to mention that the Cool Heat guns are worthless. Thanks for the clarification there Airbozo!
