Greetings friends,
Let’s take a small detour from ship specs and planking debates, and talk about something we all use: tools. More specifically, that one tool you never thought you’d need, but now couldn’t imagine building without.
We all start with the usual basics: a hobby (#11) knife, sandpaper, maybe a pin vise, but somewhere along the way, something odd or unexpected finds its way onto the bench. Maybe it was a tool someone recommended, or something you picked up on a whim, thinking, “I’ll probably never use this.” And now? It’s glued to your workflow (hopefully not literally).
So here’s the question: What’s that one unexpected tool that quietly became indispensable for you? No need for a long explanation, just share your story, and if you like, a photo of the tool in action. I’m sure many of us will recognize our own favorites in each other's stories… or maybe even discover a new one to try.
Looking forward to seeing what’s in your toolbox that surprised you. Fair winds and happy modeling!
