Suggested Tools Needed to Set up a Home Workshop

Bronwyn has been sourcing reasonably priced tools and equipment for 30 years and has come up with a great list of affordable tools and equipment needed to set up your Home Workshop for a small cost.

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.
