I’m so excited to share this vid with y’all.
If you saw anything you liked here’s a few links for you! I compiled a list of all the tools in the shop. Some are affiliate links, some aren’t, just so you know. I hope this is a good guide if you need to kit yourself out. It looks like Axminster in particular has changed it’s line since I got my stuff, so I’ve linked the closest models to what I got.
