Welcome to the forum!
This thread should get you started
Other tools and materials include Dremel, drill, Jigsaw, hole saws, sand paper, Bondo, files, and lots more.
in my view you only need 1 tool: 9'' angle grinder!
and maybe a blowtorch!Quote:

Get a hammer!
A Dremel, if you can get one or an off-brand of a Dremel would be a good tool to have. It comes in handy a lot. :up:
Also, depending on what you're planning to do, you should get some spray paint. There's a "Krylon Fusion" paint that's specifically for plastics.
don't think a normal blowtorch would do, mit as well go for an oxy-acetelene torch.........Quote:

Flowjet = sexy as hell.
Oh man, the things I could do with a CNC machine...

That's probably the only way to cut metal without burning yourself on it afterwards.Quote:
