Students must have their own hand tools. Anvils and
forges are furnished at the school. The following tool
list constitutes a good “start-up” package. Tool
acquisition seems to continue throughout one’s career,
however.
In purchasing tools, be
mindful that quality tools are worth the investment and
will put the student at an advantage to perform quality
work. Inferior tools will cause the student to re-invest
in better tools very quickly, making the total tool
investment much higher.
Necessary tools are listed
below. Students should obtain these tools prior to the
start of class. The suggested brand of each tool is
listed.
We
are happy to make a dealer recommendation upon request.
