Almost anything.

Laser/infrared. Like sensors on perimeter security systems or maybe the "eyes" for garage doors that keep the door from crushing little bobby or fido. Just need power to shoot that far.

Radio. Cheap Walky talkys you used at Disneyland as a kid before everyone had cellphones.
Then can transmit a signal easily.
Hell, I have a wireless security system- has infrared sensors that radio back to a base unit if they detect motion.
Pic related.

>>1066067
Are you talking about hacking manufactured transmitters? I'm wanting to use this for my pic microcontrollers

Over the horizon is long distance.

You better state your country because laws vary.

The one on the right, shorter lever from the weak point.

On the right. You're basically relying on a pinch point and wood glue in the joint on the left.

>>1065391
The one on the right. The left one won't even work without glue.

Fein multimaster?

>>1064336
>multitool
>not fein

Personally I think they're fucking pointless but If I were to buy one I'd buy either for the battery platform I'm on or a Fein.

>>1064337
It has things I already have (sanding accessories) but doesn't have things I really need (limiters of several kinds). Another plus for Festool, it comes in a standard Systainer box - I really hate all those bags that are a pain in the ass to store. And another plus - some guy at Amazon pointed out that there's an adapter for cheaper Fein blades, in case there'll be a need for that.

Corded. All my projects take place at my house or a friend's house.

I can buy nearly ANY corded power tool from a major name brand for $40 or less and some patience in the pawn shops and flea markets.

My batteries are never dead and extension cords aren't that big of a deal when productivity isn't the top priority.

The ONLY cordless tool that I see any value in is an impact driver.

18V Makita LXT

The 18V line of any manufacturer has a much better lineup of tools.

18v, "usually do the job" isn't good enough on a jobsite, I need "do the job 98% of the time," and for all else there's the backup corded in the trailer

You can, but it will eventually result in failure of your amp source...run one line to left positive, the other to the right negative (black/red), or vice versa...it will work...

>>1071220
this is incorrect.
Speakers are rated at what they can handle not what they require, you can hook this speaker up to a 3w usb amp and it will happily supply that speaker with sound until the world ends. it wont exactly be loud (or even be a whisper) but it will work.

>>1071221
damn looks like my home amp only has room for two speakers (its shitty old cd player system)

>potentiometer

Thats a variac you mouth breather.
Hook it up linearly to make it a reostat.
use pins 2 and 4 for the wire input and output.

>>1070922
if you have time, could you make schematic. I would be very grateful

So you make bad drawings for a living?

You dont understand what he means from this?

Just take a photograph and have a projector project it on your painting. Use a foot switch to turn the projector off and on.

>>1070647

Hmm on second thought the colours wouldn't come out right.

That's from tims vermeer you idiot op. It isn't a poster but a painting and if you didn't learn anything from the documentary go kill yourself because he lays out everything plain as day in it

you can cut everything bigger and than sand it down slowly until you hit the exact millimetre you want

CNC router would do it pretty quick

>>1070466
I wouldn't get hungup on millimetres.
It's wood, wood is forgiving.

It's not like you plan flying the portable workstation to the moon is it?

>>1070383
Five grand is ample. Buy as you need for each project.

Usa?

Take your shit, and go to any big local flea market. Bring 300 bucks, you'll find everything you need.

In a year, i've bought enough tools to have myself full general/electrical/plumbing kits (<with tons of sharkbites). I have a few sawzalls and skill saws, 2 table saws, 2 chop saws, 2 compressors, 2 chainsaws.

Spent probably about 200 bucks.
