Tools

We've put together some simple tool reviews, assuming that most people who want to build their own studios go into it knowing more about guitar string guages than sandpaper grit rating. We'll probably start off with our more recommended tools, and only talk about things you should avoid if we're pissed about something that ended up being a waste of money.

Please note: we do not endorse any of these products, and our advice is not expert. But DIY construction projects require spending a lot of money on tools (unless you're lucky enough to have free unlimited use of some), so we figured we'd throw in our opinion about what's been good and what's been a rip off.

Please also note that we haven't done a very good job on this part of the site. We started it when it seemed like this was going to take forever and we might as well yammer on about the stuff we were using to slog through. Then one day the studio was done and we suddenly weren't as interested in talking about which drill bits were our favorite. Imagine that.
