Looking for some tools, or supplies?
Wondering what sorts of tools/materials I use for various projects? This is the page for you! While not an exhaustive list, this covers some of the essentials, and random other things I find helpful. Not only does this give you a decent starting point for kicking off your next project, it’s also a great reference for myself, for when I’m trying to find a particular item again. So, expect the lists to change, over time. Added bonus: If you click-through, and purchase anything from Amazon, you’re helping me buy my next cup of coffee!
