    Rather than post my query in AH, then let it get moved, I thought that I might try here. Do we have a forum dedicated to building things yourself, eg. toasters etc.? I'm going to try to build something, and will need voltometres(sp?) etc, and I want to ask a few Qs

    Are you suggesting a forum? If so then this should be under the Forums forum. If not then maybe Engineering(rather quiet) might be the place to ask your query or perhaps if it has to do with electrical issues, Gardening/DIY.

    Yeah, also just to say sounds like a fun idea!

    I actually like the sound of this forum, I do a little bit of tinkering myself and use sites like:

    http://www.instructables.com/

    for ideas and info.

    Currently I'd say DIY is your best bet. Engineering is mostly a studenty forum rather than a practical one.

    edit: you know what this could be a good forum to have, 'Lifehacking' to make it sound cool as well.
    Minister, feel free to propose in forums, if not, I will.

    I should have been clearer. I'm asking if we have one.

    EDIT: I'll try engineering or DIY, it's more supply stores that I need. Unfortunately, we don't have RadioShack in Ireland.
    Copecetic, thanks for the linkie

    ^ Indeed. Build a bomb with lemon juice and a stick of chewing gum. :) Maybe try Peats, The_Minister.

    Wrong forum but the question has been more or less answered so I'm closing this.

    If you are ever unsure in which forum to post your thread (I get that a lot) - just post it in the closest forum and explain that you weren't sure which forum to use. And the mod may or may not move it to a more appropriate forum.
