 ===== Hardware =====
-You don't absolutely //need// to have all of these things, but it sure helps! Using a tool for purposes other than those for which it was designed can be just a little more difficult, or downright dangerous. Please be safe :)
-==== Safety ====
-  * Workbench - Protect your house, have a proper work area
-  * Safety Glasses - Protect your sense of sight
-  * Ear plugs/Ear Muffs - Protect your sense of hearing
-  * Face mask - Protect your lungs
-  * Fire Extinguisher - Don't let your soldering iron start a fire you can't put out
-  * Fire Blanket - As above
-  * Storage Unit - Put your tools and components somewhere safe
-  * Small Plastic Cup - Somewhere to put things temporarily. Don't leave your kit lying around.
-  * Soldering Smoke Absorber/Ventilator - MMmmm, Lead smoke. Mmmmm, Cancer. Mmmm, Insanity. Mmm.... I think not.
-==== Soldering ====
-  * Soldering Iron - Temperature controlled
-  * Soldering Iron Stand - Put it where it belongs
-  * Soldering Iron Tip Cleaner - Take care of your tools
-  * Solder - Good quality solder for good quality joints, 63/37 Eutectic
-  * Tinning Block - for taking care of soldering iron tips
-  * PCB Holders - Make soldering easier and cleaner
-  * Desoldering Braid - For removing chips from inferior boards, to insert in you MBHP ;)
-  * Desoldering Pump - As above
-  * Breadboard - Prototyping
-==== Electronics ====
-  * Multimeter - For testing circuitry. RS232 connected Autoranging DMM
-  * Oscilloscope - For testing signals. Dual trace
-  * Power Supply - Regulated lab power supply
-  * Digital Camera - For taking snaps to share with other MIDIBoxers
-  * Mini Torch - Let there be light. A AA Cell MagLight in your mouth means you get perfect light
-==== Drilling ====
-  * Rotary Tool
-  * Drill Press - For accurate drilling of PCB's and faceplates
-  * Drill bit set
-  * Router bit set
-  * Nibbling tool - for making odd shaped holes (Careful! These can be savage)
-  * Reamer - for making odd shaped holes
-  * Center punch - For marking the location of holes to be drilled and scribing lines on metal
-==== Abrasive/Cutting ====
-  * File Set - Flat, round, half round, rasp and needle
-  * Hacksaw - For cutting solid objects
-  * Spare Hacksaw Blades - For use by hand
-  * Coping Saw - For cutting holes in cases
-  * Razor Knife - Stanley/X-Acto, etc. NOT for use on plastic cases unless you have a death wish
-==== Measurement ====
-  * Flexible Steel Ruler with Cork backing - From Arts stores. An excellent idea that I stole ;)
-  * Calipers - For measuring drill bits, shaft diameters, and hole diameters
-  * Clamps/Vices - Various sizes and shapes, for holding things still while you drill/saw/bust them up
-==== Trimming and Fastening ====
-  * Wire Strippers - For stripping insulation from cabling
-  * Pliers Set - Various Sizes and types
-  * Side Cutters - For trimming componenet leads
-  * Screwdriver Set - Various sizes
-  * Spanner Set - Various sizes, including shifter spanners
-  * Socket Set - Various sizes
-  * IC Puller - Little tool for pulling IC's from sockets
-  * IC Placer - Little tool for putting IC's in sockets, spreads even pressure over all the pins.
-  * Claw - One of those little pens with a three-fingered claw for grabbing loose bits from where fingers can't reach
-==== Accessories ====
-  * Mirror - Little mirror on a telescopic shaft for peeking where your eyes can't reach
-  * Compressed Air Can - For cleaning stuff by blasting off dust
-  * PC/Mac - For surfing ucapps.de, the forum, this wiki, etc, for printing stuff, for talking to the DMM
-  * Internet Connection - You will need a fairly high-speed connection for downloading instructional images, PDFs, tools, etc. 56kbps will probably not be enough. I recommend 128kbps ADSL at the very minimum. I've got 12Mb ADSL2+ which is the fastest thing available, and recommend it highly.
-  * Printer - For everything from quick reference guides to datasheets to documentation to PCB screens to......

-Please note that I haven't mentioned any PCB creation tools... I don't make my own PCB's yet, so Internet Explorer (pointed at Smash's Shop) is the only tool I need for this. I don't think that will last due to some other projects I'm doing (I haven't given upon the SRAM yet!), so I will put PCB tools up here one day, but until then, please feel free to add them yourself!

+====== Lab Supplies ======
+A few handy things to have around the lab for experimenting....
+  * a complete set of resistors,
+  * breadboard PCBs to mount hardware-parts
+  * sockets with screws (eg for DIN-buttons)
+  * set of capacitors (esp. those 104's)
+  * some additional switches (like power-switches)
+  * enough cables with connectors
