various sandpapers (150-600grit for satin finishes, up to 2500grit for mirror)
tablespoon (but a decent light peening hammer would be much better)
A stationary beld sander & bandsaw aren't neccessary, but will make things much easier.
Supplies:
1/16" brass rod (for pins)
#0 size washers
3/32" brass rod (optional, if you want bushings)
scale material (ie. some wood and CA for the finish)
metal polish (flitz, simichrome, MAAS, etc.)
And above all... time and patience. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head; there also much more that can be usefull and make things easier.
I've got:
.a few dremels and lots of tips (used dremels a fair amount)
.a $99 scroll saw from Lowe's I've haven't opened
.150-800 grit sand papers
.10 fingers still
anyway..
where do I get:
1/16" brass rod (for pins)
#0 size washers
3/32" brass rod (optional, if you want bushings)
Suggestions for scale materials to practice on would help too.
If your real bored take me shopping by giving links to good tools
Also, don't I need an anvil? The shipping has got to hurt on that one.
