Starting Uni - What do I need!

**lydia** · 24-09-2009, 01:54 PM

Just wondering what you peeps have accumulated or are planning to buy before starting your courses? What tools are really necessary to start with? Are kits worth investing in or just buy seperately? Can you recommend any must-have??? Would be really grateful!

Hi Lydia the start up kit that Cooksons have seems like a good deal and lots and lots of sawblades lol, have they not given you a list of equipement? A lot of the tools i bought a urhum years ago are still going stong and i am terrible at looking after them.

I accumulated tools as I went along. You can usually use what they have and as you start to work you find out what is relevent to you and what you use the most. I managed with very few initially until I found out what was really important to me and my style of work. No point in buying loads of tools that you might not use, better to buy them as you go along.
