Tools

Here is a clarification about the tools(from last semester):

We are recommending just four tools as a minimum. If you look at the website or one of the print outs from last night there is a diagram that shows "Josei Moku Hanga to" tools, and very subtly there are four tools marked 1.0, 1.5, 3.0, and 6.0mm all rounded or "Maru To". Those should provide a good basic ability to mark detailed marks as well as clear out larger areas. You're welcome to get any additional tool you think might be helpful, or your budget allows, but you are also encouraged to find other mark-making and cutting tools. Wood working chisels can clear large areas of board and can be found at hardware stores, these tools
