/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I left my job to get into college because I was tired of doing meaningless stuff, just to find out that college was more of the same.
What I want to do is make stuff with my hands, just get started with anything.

I like: drones (have a hubsan lying around), planes and rockets in general (couldn't afford aerospace engineering, got into mech end instead), programming, automation (PID was hella cool).

I live in my grandma's, so there's a shitton of old shit in here. For example pic related. What could I do with that, any component I can salvage?
