Here's my offering =)Darkmatter73
Wow! Genius, DC. I wonder why I havent thought of that before. Even though I dont have a drill press, I still could use it with a standard drill.
Soldering irons, lithium ion batteries, LEDs and more. Things get hot in this hobby. The careless placement of a magnifying glass nearly burnt my garage down last summer! So, not really a tool, but definitely a worthy addition to the workshop.
Here's something I just made tonight with the Help of @jbkuma. Thanks for answering my questions.It's a neopixel light that I will attach to the spindle of my mill for additional direct lighting. One of the coolest things is the electronics case. I think its an Xbox memory card case from back in the day hah.

I think its an Xbox memory card case from back in the day hah.Very cool.Great minds think alike (or like me, have seen it done before and decided to do it themselves, lol).I made two X2 Mini Mill spindle light mounts a couple of years ago. Each one was made from three different parts that I machined on my lathe. I made one of them for me and the other one for Obi-Shane but as you can see, I never installed mine. I have the matching paint for it and just recently got the double sided foam sheet for mounting the light ring to the metal (I did not want to use a bunch of tiny pieces of the double-sided foam tape and also did not want to use hot glue) and I also have the on-off switch so I have no excuse not to move forward with it. The light ring was marketed as one of those "halo" ring lights for car headlights. I got it cheap off of ebay and it runs best off of 9 volts (both the battery and a 9V DC wall plug. Here's the pic...
Not sure how obscure this is, but Sugru is a lifesaver. Mouldable glue that holds well, but can easily be removed if you need to make repairs. I use it for securing little things, or speakers into speaker holders.
