Tools of the Trade
Here is a list of suggested tools to use while making props. Some of these I own, some I don't but are highly recommended. While it certainly is possible to get by with a hobby knife and superglue, it's always nice to have tools that not only make things easier and faster, but cleaner and more efficiently! I'll update this page as I come across helpful tools and things. As with any and all of the suggestions listed below, do your research on them before you buy!
I've also included links to recommended products, so if one or two of them interest you, click the link and snag it! The best part is, clicking the links gets me a miniscule cut from sales thanks to Amazon, so we can both be happy! :D
