Book Scanner
June 19th, 2019As I move more and more away from physical books to electronic books, I've wanted to convert some of my books to digital format and reduce the need for physical shelf space. I've been interested in building a book scanner for some time now but cost and space to store the scanner have been issues. Since moving to the new house, I don't have a good place for a huge bookshelf so it has become more important to convert my books/magazines to a digital format. Here are a number of links to book scanners.

TS100 Soldering Iron
June 19th, 2019I have a nice soldering station, but often times I'm not able to bring my work to it so for quite some time, I've been looking for a solid portable iron that I can take with me. I recently ran into a video about the TS100 soldering iron. I purchased one shortly thereafter and it has exceeded my expectations. It is portable, heats in seconds and even can run on DeWalt 20v batteries with the appropriate adapter.
