Q3: It is often said “You can never have enough clamps/cramps!”. What tool or kit would you happily have more of, and why?

Clamps?

Also, improvised pokey scratchy shapey tools of different sizes, for use in miniature modelling.

A3: These are weirdly specific and come in no particular order:

• If you have broken the factory seal on the last can of book darts you need to order another can
• The human race in its collective effort has still not manufactured enough binder clips.
• However much lighting you have you are at least one light source short of illuminating the workpiece. Three if you're also trying to magnify.
• Your "helping hands" or other work holding system is always one point of attachment short of correctly holding the work the way you need it.
• Your flux pen is probably dry at any given moment in time.
• The correct unit of purchase for pen wash is a 4L jug; or, ideally, a powdered product you can mix on demand.
• There is never a suitable brush to sacrifice to adhesives.
  • Even if you bought a whole case of them at some point

And finally:

• In the kitchen, the correct number of storage containers is always one greater than the total number owned.

A3: Aside from clamps? Hmmmm. I’m going to go with bike ‘fluids’. Oil, cleaner, degreaser, brake fluid, chain lube, grease (I know - not a fluid!). You can never have too much!

@MakersHour A3 I think I'm probably ok in general terms. I don't tend to need more of something, unless you count going from 0 to 1 (or many) - there are some things I don't have that could be useful. But they tend towards the expensive - if it was cheap, I'd probably have it :)

@MakersHour Q3. More of in the kit? A3. More of the Clover needle threaders with a thread cutter opposite. They easily get damaged or lost.

@MakersHour

A3 aside from the obvious of clamps. I could really use a better selection of chisels, different sizes, shapes,.etc... I really only have the bare minimum currently.
