Part 1. I think the next semester of my education will have me building more models / doing more shop work. I'm starting to put together a small toolbox to leave in the studio and I'm curious what others who do shop work keep on hand.
So far I've got a small assortment of pliers, tin snips, an assortment of abrasives, some foam shaping tools, box of latex gloves and a filtration mask. What else should I consider?
Part 2. What shop _processes_ should I have in my skill "toolbox"? ie: What should all designers know how to do? (I know that this is a bit of a loaded question, but I am interested in the responses.)
