Handy Supplies

Things that are good to have:There is a lot of stuff on this list.  You definitely need some of your own tools.

Household Items are a great place to start:
Forks, containers with lids, rolling pins, cutting boards, anything that seems useful.

You probably want the sand paper. You need a respirator.

The rest of what you need depends on how much you like to work on your own and how much you will be doing in the future. 

Here are some of my favorites: 

• Mud Tools!   I like a couple of yellow and green with a variety of corner shapes.
