I'm interested in computer graphics, algorithms, combinatorics, mathematics, and meta programming. My favorite languages are Prolog, C++, OCaml. I like to make cross-platform graphics applications.

comment Is it safe to cut throught a 70mm spruce beam with a Metabo jigsaw?
I must say I underestimated a lot the power of this Metabo jigsaw. I bought a 10 cm blade (~5€) and with the right settings, I almost didn't realize that I was cutting through the beam.

@Steven Interesting tool, I didn't know it. It looks powerful and not very accurate, as requested.

OK I'll have a try, do it slowly and let the jigsaw do its work. I cut one with a handsaw, but it was so wet that the blade could barely move after ~ 2 cm , and I had to reiterate the cut on each side.

@NiallC. OK I canceled my edit. As a non-native speaker I trusted the wording on Tester101's answer - which happens to be wrong..

comment How to unscrew screws that are barely accessible?
I still have not tested but I like it. That's the kind of tool I had in mind.

comment What tools do I need to make a straight cut in laminated chipboard?
In the eventuality I choose the jigsaw, is there a way to prevent the blade of the jigsaw to flex and stop being perpendicular to the material ? It happens to me all the time with a very cheap jigsaw, but this time I need it to be really clean and am going to spend some money on the tools.

comment What is the purpose of these holes on my wire stripper?
What do the color on the crimper represent ? Only auto ? Insul / non insul ? (just to be exhaustive)

I tried it this morning, and it works perfectly. But on some eye bolts, there is thin layer of white plastic (I don't know the exact nature or term for it) that get damaged in the process.
