Okay, so I posted in the Tech area about a Drill...asking for ideas as to mini-projects I could do with it.

Well, i have a new toy now. I went to the store and bought myself a Dremel tool. I need some IDEAS as to things to do with it. Like any projects, etc. I'm bored and unemployed so...... i'm trying to keep myself busy. The book a day thing is getting boring now. :)

So I have a Dremel Tool and I'm planning to put cool LED lights inside my computer case. Anybody else have any ideas / experience? I would gladly try my luck with the Dremel.

Thanks all.

dremels are great...
almost as great as leathermans (or leathermen if you're into that sort of thing)

since i'm bored, i can't help you come up with any ideas...
if you're really bored, figure out how many legos it would take to build a 20x20x10... and price it out.. you can now buy a 100 bricks for 6 bucks through the new lego bulk policy...

one of my social committee friends was really (really) bored at work today and figured it out... i was fairly impressed... as wpi social committee we could buy well over a million bricks...
anyways, dvd calls. lata

another idea is buy some propeller blades and stick them to the tools and u have some great fans....Dont have a Drill press?? Well a roll of Duct tape and some pullys and things of that sort then you got a drill press and if u get real good @ making thoes systems you can make a mini milling machine
