Tools needed for a foam forge

Postby Drachir » Mon Mar 18, 2019 10:26 pm

Hey everybody!

I know technically you could get by with a box cutter and a hack saw, but let's talk about what's needed for nice weapons.

What tools do you consider necessary for a quality foam forge? What would take things to the next level? I know a routing tool/table, a band saw, and a power sander are pretty much the basics to have nice quality forge. What else is there?

Thanks,
Drachir

A combination square is a simple and cheap way to up your game. I use it on pretty much every project, and it adds a nice layer of consistency and accuracy to your work.
