Tools & Supplies Provided by Participant
The tools needed are usually found in every home tool box. If you are missing some and can't borrow or purchase them please let us know. We may be able to arrange for you to borrow tools from the Docents. A sharp box plane is especially useful. If you only have a large plane, or it has seen better days, a new box plane can be purchased for less than $20.
Please make every effort to bring all the tools and supplies. Not having the right tools and supplies will only slow the process and you need all the time available.
