Hey all, SR here looking for some equipment lists and tips.
I will be setting up a shape shack and am looking for a complete list of tools and equipment for shaping.
i have a good sized space with room for a rack, lighting, tools, and blanks.
Also. money is not really that much of an issue, so suggestions on planers, sanders, and rocker/conacave templates are welcomed.
thank you.
24 inch steel ruler

sureform
Screen
Good quality respirator
For templates go with 1/4" masonite. Not the cheapest or easiest option but it will last and not cup/warp.
For planers go with the Accurate Planers. Get both the long and short base version.
Large flat-screen TV and a beer fridge and some sandpaper and masking tape…and a good electric power plane.
You forgot to add, “…when I get back from my Indo honeymoon with Kate Upton”
This should give you an idea…
A lot of the basics are included in the “kits.”
Take that list and run with it sinisterreaction. We have all of that and then some.
just get lots of tools and boxes
so you can rummage around
in the boxes for hours
where you put stuff.
everything else you can make
with foam and balsa scraps
with a saw a block plane
and sandpaper.
oh and a lamp.
no chairs allowed.
oh and a long stick
to mark out feet
and inches .
Pictures of waves
are to be considered
measuring tools too.
as far as money is concerned
yes send money to where it is
a concern until it is no longer
a concern just to level things
out a little.
Had enough for icecream tonite
…ambrose…
don’t forget a camera mount
for the end of the room
for live broadcasts and
shaping performance videos.
maybe a couple mounts
for difrent p.o.v. angles
if you plan to edit in
facial expressions
and cutting closeups.
Check out our E-Z Shaping Tool Kits they will give you a great idea of the tools needed. Some you might already have and some you can add to your collection. Our kits go from the most rudimentary tools to including all the bitchen high end tools.
Good luck in your search.
