Tool Research for the “Shop Outfitting” Assignment

Below is a list of popular tool companies to find tools for your project. I would look through these companies websites just to see what is available on the market.  If you find a tool through your research that looks interesting, I would suggest searching it on youtube. It might sound silly, but youtube is  a great resource. These are just a few companies that i would recommend looking at, but there are absolutely more companies in the market to look at.

This is a start but i might be adding a few more,

New Book, New Syllabus

Hi all. So, the reason that we have been having trouble getting the Bill Raoul book is that a new edition was just released (unfortunately after the semester started).

The new edition is now available, and I have updated the syllabus with page numbers from the new book.

You can find the new book here: http://smile.amazon.com/Stock-Scenery-Construction-Handbook-Raoul/dp/0911747435/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443637253&sr=8-1&keywords=raoul+scenery

You see the updated syllabus here: Syllabus Page
