Thanks guys!
Dreams, I've seen all I could find from tinear's stuff, I couldn't even begin to do what he does, his hinged computer case
mod I could comprehend, but would never try to replicate-- it just wouldn't work out. Your try at the mahmba is closer than I'd ever get.

annnnd, cool that you stopped by this thread. I knows your busy.
5cardstud, cheers, but the kitchen table or my balcony make for one mean machine shop! I'd love to have a devoted workshop, then I wouldn't have to put stuff away so much.
I'm going on a 5 week vacation soon, so trying to get some things done before. Inspired by petercro, a 18350 with a 3ml bottle inline juicer, and the other--a mentos aqua kiss gum box that is a little tall but holds 3aa batts nicely in a tough black abs plastic. end pieces are shaped for both, but we'll see.
