/diy/ - Do It Yourself

i think my 3 would have to be a multimeter, a jigsaw, and an electric drill. that gives me the ability to build things, and diagnose most electronics. (could build an oscilloscope from there if i really had to)

vice grips, hacksaw, hammer

There's not a lot you can't fudge with these 3.

So the warehouse is full of materials I can use to build more tools?

>>151397
yeah, theoretically, as long as you know how

a mig welder and a plasma cutter, and a tape measure i guess

>>151414
you can do some serious construction with that. what would you build?

>>151427
a fucking roller coaster dude!

Lol I like electronics man.
Plus I suppose could use it
to learn more things over the
internets.

>>151438
hmm. maybe there is a condition that you have no communications with the outside? i guess you could still have a ton of stored data, though

>>151464
yeah I suppose, just pop in a 32gb microsd and that should be more than enough for books, audio books, videos, music and more.

Sledgehammer, Lump Hammer, Bow Saw

dremel kit, soldering iron, scope

id make is a computer to order more tools.

then id build a kill bot with a big machine gun so that when im finally let out i can go on a rampage for locking me in a where house for a year, also for fun

1: 4-faced hammer (flat, claw, ball, and pointed)
2: my analog 1970s multimeter
3: 14lbs capacity ceramic crucible

After a year, I should have a space rocket ready for launch. but, realistically I'd make more tools, start making electronics (simple radio for starters then a walkie talkie/CB radio/HAM radio) then I could have contact with the outside world. I'd make a welder too.

Router
Corded drill
35' Tape

Actually scratch the drill, I'll take a metal lathe.

Festool kapex
Festool drill
Kreg setup

>>151700

I was wondering when someone would say that.

As for me,
1) Metal lathe
2) Vertical milling machine
3) SMAW / TIG welding setup (Just the inverter and cords if necessary)

Really after the metal lathe, it's all gravy.

As for building I would probably fashion some rough woodworking tools first and make furniture and the like before taking some time to build a few good tools and building just to get better at building.

1. Trowel
2. Brick Hammer
3. 4' level

What am I?

mill
lathe
bandsaw

I can pretty much make everything else with these

Swiss Army Knife, decent needle-nosed pliers, and my phone, to get instructions and stuff.

Wait, is there electricity? Is there 3G coverage? Am I allowed to have my charger for my phone? What if I wanted to make something that doesn't really exist (like a warp drive)? Do the parts for THAT exist in the Warehouse?

We're talking about Warehouse 13, aren't we? You bastard.

>>151737
>Warehouse 13
had to google to see what that was. sounds interesting, i may have to check it out

>electricity?
yes

>Is there 3G coverage?
no communications allowed with outside world

>Am I allowed to have my charger for my phone?
yes, and any stored data you bring in on it is fair game

>What if I wanted to make something that doesn't really exist (like a warp drive)?
anything you build must obey the laws of physics. if you manage to make a discovery in the process, then good for you

1.) Bridgeport Series 1 mill w/ digital readout
2.) South Bend 16x60 lathe w/ digital readout
3.) Lincoln Idealarc R3R-500 (for stick or TIG welding, also, carbon-arc gouging for cutting metal)

Everyone here is wrong. The only correct answer is:

ANY Forge
Hammer
Bucket of oil

>>151839
you're definitely not messing around. very nice.

>>151857
And then he had 4"x1"x1/8" stock when he wants 2"x1"x1/4" stock have fun with that welder bro.
I know OP stipulates all materials as desired, but we all know about OP.

>>151839

Hammer
duct tape
bailing wire

yes, i am mostly Portuguese.

A 5 Axis CNC milling machine and a computer.. That's all you need.
What would I make? ... EVERYTHING
