Tools I use...
Since I can't hold a magnifying glass and work at the same time, I use magnifying goggles.
Since I only use one hand, I find a knife easier and more precise than a pair of scissors.
Bonus Tips...
I also use the angle weights to hold open my checkbook and reference books (dictionaries and cookbooks), and to hold papers while I'm writing.
Special Shopping List Included...
Take this list and this book to your local arts and crafts or hobby shop to help you find the tools you need to build scale models, or hold, cut, paint, or glue any creative project!
