I would make a nice list of minimum stuff, but it would be rather long, and it seems many people don't have what I have.
I have: A drill press Cordless drills Corded drills Bench saw Saw bench Skill saw Jigsaw Hand saws And all the other hand tools, etc etc. I guess you would need: Clamps Hand saw A nice workbench A steel ruler Side cutters, pliers, screwdrivers etc. A pencil Hammer Glue Soldering Iron and related electronics stuff ($15 sort would do) Sanding block (I like the cork ones) Sandpaper (80 grit and 200 grit should do, and for painting you'd want some 400 or 800 grit too) Files A power drill A small set of drill bits (2-12 mm, you can buy other necessary ones later) Nails Screws Paint brush Stanley knife Adjustable spanner If you have the money, get a jigsaw. A hot glue gun can help too, just a dollar store one. I guess that's a list of the supplies and tools you'd need for a wooden tank. You could probably cut the list down. -Gregory On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 4:36 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Sep 17, 2009, at 11:20 AM, Cold comfort <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > I would add a utility knife to the list.
