Tools are available from Melbourne suppliers, and prices can vary quite alot. You may even get a 10% discount if you mention you are a new student setting up a workshop from Koodak!!
You will also need an old frypan and casserole dish to heat your Pickle solution.
You need good lighting and an area free from children to set up your bench....which can be an old desk with a benchpin attached.
