Hey Neighbor, Can I borrow your Dremel and Pop Rivet Gun?

We're hosting Maker Camp and trying to spend as few $$ as possible. So we're having a Maker Camp Scavenger Hunt... We need to borrow a Dremmel and a Pop Rivet Gun... and a few rivets...

Maker Camp days 1 and 2 went reasonably smoothly.  Thanks to Ralph's, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and Carl's Jr. for Day 2 support.  Thanks to Cha for Tea for Day 1 support. 

We're stacking up some re-runs of testing, but we understand the concepts.

Tomorrow, however, we've got a problem.
You see, the project is a bit more sophisticated, and we need some help getting these supplies.

I have some inexpensive rotary tools, but they really aren't very powerful, I don't know if they'll suffice.  There are a few other things we'll need. 

So, if you have a Dremel Rotary Tool with cut-off wheel, 180- and 280-grit abrasive buffs, aluminum oxide grinding stone, and 1/8″ drill bit, that will be totally awesome!

We also need an aluminum bottle from some special drinks.  Certain energy drinks and beer at some convenience stores have these.

We may find these at home, but in case I don't we also need hose clamps, a #8 screw with two nuts and a washer and a dust mask or two or three.

We've got depleted plastic gift cards, a permanent marker, masking tape and safety goggles.
