While plenty of tools are available, you probably want to put together your own toolbox/kit of things to have handy. See the [[Recommended Gear/Kit#Wood Shop|suggested list for the wood shop]]. | |||

Please be respectful and aware of others working in the shop at the same time you are. If you are throwing sparks, throw them away from other people. If you are walking around with hot metal, say something so others know where you are and don't get branded. If you are going to start making a lot of noise, let other people know so they can get some ear protection, don't just deafen them. | Please be respectful and aware of others working in the shop at the same time you are.

Sharpening is best left to people who know what they're doing. Destroying an edge or a tool's temper will require someone else to deal with the problem, and that sucks. If you know what you're doing, you'll know what you need and can ask someone who also looks like they know what they're doing to help you find it. | Sharpening is best left to people who know what they're doing.
