Desoldering Tweezers
Here is a new desoldering tweezer tool I just made, it's rough and there will be improvements, very likely.  It looks kind of dangerous, but it's really low voltage, under a volt, barely enough to register on my digital voltmeter.

These tools cost hundreds of dollars if you want to buy them somewhere, but I made mine out of cheap radio shack parts and junk.  The power supply is also homebuilt, which I also use for my hot air pencil .  In the lower part of the photo, what looks like sawdust, is a bunch of resistors that I desoldered in just a few minutes.

Breadboarding adapters
I've long been a fan of solderless breadboarding.  And frankly any kind of breadboarding, even the soldering type.  When you need to whip out a circuit fast, don't have time to etch a board, here are some of my tricks.

Snowshoes
Here are some snowshoes that I made.   They cost about $9 in new materials, and used some items from my existing inventory.  Yes, those are snowboard bindings.
