Last week I was all proud of myself and the tools that I brought along to hang my show. I envisioned sharing M's electric drill, thinking that I was so slick to have one, and I prided myself for remembering the drill bits. Of course I completely forgot to bring a measuring tape or a level, and I forgot the most important element of all, the one that would actually help me hang my work: the screw driver bits.
Clearly, beyond the basics, we have an out-dated tool box. Who knew of all the wonderful, cordless, devices available? In no particular order, here are the tools that I plan to stock and supply over the next few months.
- A cordless drill. This one was the one I borrowed and it was light-weight and very easy to use in the forward and reverse motion. Had a lot of power too.
- Various drill bits, including screw drivers and allen wrenches.
- A laser level. This one was the bomb! Be still my OCD heart in perfectly, level and straight art work that doesn't take 47 years to hang. This will definitely be the first item purchased.
- A dremel. I've wanted one of these forever.
- Wood screws and wood glue.
- Liquid nails.
- An assortment of picture hangers.
- Heavy duty extension cord.
What am I forgetting? Suggestions please!!
