General tools Hot air gun Not only for removing paint but also useful for SMD soldering Drill We still don't have a drill to make all those holes needed to improve our building. Cool would be one which can also be fixed into a vertical stand. sander (Schleifmaschine) And kind will do, belt or flat. Thermal imaging camera welding equipment We have not yet started to do metal work, but there are already ideas what to build. Fully equipped tool box (or just the tools) Pliers, cutters etc... Always good to have in your tool box Good quality bolt and screwdrivers Some tools are already in our collection, more is always better. If you want to buy, a good quality company is proxxon. Screws and bolts well we need to fix stuff!

household items scale We have one up to 500g but would like to weight heavier stuff. kitchen robot One of those multi functional mixers. Blender We sometimes have an urgent need for mixing fruit juice. Please don't give us a BlendTec Blender, else we would in fact need two, one for the Kitchen and one for the Lab to see if it will blend wine cellar fridge for keeping our chocolates fresh in the summer Ikea 4x4 and 2x4 Expedit in wood finishing to build a wall for our library Roomba As there are sometimes problems to motivate people to wipe the floors, why not ask a robot to do it? sofa bed Sometimes we are really sleepy... shower box This would be really useful not just for our wellness (for that a visit to nearby Les Themes is better) but rather for the security resons when handling dangerous substances (e.g. during PCB etching).
