Hand Tools

Safety Equipment

• Eye Protection - Safety glasses. Going blind due to an accident will make all of your work useless, right? Put 'em on!

• Hearing Protection - Ear plugs or ear muffs. Many power tools produce EXTREMELY loud noise, and temporary deafness (and possibly permanent too) can and does occur. Put 'em in or on, but USE 'EM!

• Breathing/Lung Protection - Many of the materials produce dust. You may not even be able to see some of these dusts. MDF, in particular, produces toxic dust. Any and all things you breath in will cause short-term effects. The long-term effects are even worse. Get a face mask, and put it on. Your lungs will thank you for it.

Marking Tools

You will want something to mark your measurements and cut lines with. A pen, pencil, marker, etc. Anything can be used, but try to use something with a thin/skinny point to ensure consistency with your markings, or you may end up just a fraction off!
