Prefer to Gather Your Own Tools?
No problem — you might already have most of what you need. Honestly, when I first started, half my setup came from my husband’s toolbox. Was he thrilled? Nope. Did I make it work? Absolutely. He forgave me eventually… and I bought my own.
If you’re the DIY type, feel free to browse the list and pick what fits your style, budget, and studio setup.
Every tool here is one I’ve tested, trusted, and used to build boutique‑quality pieces — no fluff, no guesswork.
