If there are any questions on type or quality of tools, see the instructor prior to purchase to be sure to get the correct tools. If students already have some of the tools needed, it is not necessary to purchase new ones.
Suitable work boots must be worn. Soft shoes such as sneakers or tennis shoes will not be allowed.
It has been our experience that carpenters’ overalls and carpenters’ tool boxes are usually in short supply. These two items should be purchased as soon as possible to avoid the likelihood of not being able to obtain them.
Prices are approximate and may vary depending on source. Jefferson College does do not recommend any particular supplier over another. However, all tools should be of professional quality.
