I want to build 3 separate pieces. One just for carrying parts. One for tools, soldering in particular. The last is for breadboard prototyping.
Tools and Parts
This box contains the following tools
- wire spools
- multimeter
- Wire cutters
- jewelers screwdrivers (I could get another like my backpack)
- needle nose pliers
- tweezers
It also has all of my parts boxes. I can group the parts by type and write the grouping on the side so that I don't need to see the parts top down all the time.
Prototyping Box
- soldering iron
- fume extractor
- magnifying lamp
- ac outlets
- clamps
- solder spool
- heat shrink tubing
- rotary tool
I found a cheap rotary tool for $10 at harbor freight, thought this one might be better, particularly with the flex shaft. The box should have the means to use the tool as a Mini-Drill Press or as a mini-table saw (with a cutting disc) for cutting and drilling pcbs.
I like the designs where a flap folds down as a work area, then the box opens with two front-facing doors.
