Fun Personal Project

[Caio]

I apologize if this is in the wrong section. I've done a search to see if I could find something of the sort, and did, but it was FIRST related and this isn't.

I'm currently going to the University of Washington, where I have access to a very nice shop with mills/lathes/cncs/welding/etc.

I just can't come up with something to make. I've looked online for project plans and it seems that you need to pay for a lot of them and none really seem to interest me.

Do any of you have a suggestion of what I could make? I want something in the low end for costs, but I want it to have low tolerances (as in requiring precision machining) as well, so I'm forced to put effort into it and learn something.

I don't exactly want anything FIRST related, like a chassis or robot to complete this years challenge. Its kind of hard to explain what I'm looking for <_< sorry... but if you have any ideas offer them up please! My fingers are itching to use that shop.

Thanks in advance!
