I liked playing with the lathe. I don't have on now but may if I get the garage cleaned out.

 

My favorite is the router, I still use one!

 

Routers are cool. I think I need to invest in a dado blade for my table saw.

 

I have a Bosch plunge router!

 

A good one. I have a couple but forget which brand. I got one of those roto zips as well.

 

That and my Dremel are invaluable!

 

I have Ryobi's version of the Dremel. I used to to do a bit of pototyping one time. The mechanical engineer would not make it for me so I did it at home. Then his boss got on his case. So he would make whatever I needed for the project.

 

I made this box with the dremel...

Wood base, aluminum bracket, and the plexi cover!

 

Nice.. What is it used for?

 

That is a central power distribution console for accessories, the only thing going through it now, is my reverse lights, the switch has a resistor on the reverse circuit to prevent feedback when I turn them on manually.

It has provisions for rear red fog lamps, train air horns, and driving lamps.

 

That sounds like a good idea. I could use something like that for auxilliary backup lights. I have to get my backup camera put on the truck yet. Not sure if the dash unit will support it.

 

Most have the camera inlet built in!

What model is it?

 

I really don't know . It came in the truck when my son swapped. Never took the time to look at the name.

 

When it turns on there should be some kind of splash screen and help or about button!

 

JVC. I remember seeing that.
