Recommended Tools for the Props Person (SFO Edition)
Prop Agenda: All props people have their own tools they bring to work. Some of the tools are basic necessities that one should never be without, while others are specialty items that you rarely find at any shop. But if you are just starting out, what tools do you need? The Santa Fe Opera provides their incoming apprentices with a list of tools which they are required to bring.

This is a pretty good and general list that I feel any carpenter or theatrical crafts individual should have. It doesn't hurt you too financially today to get some tools that you can bring with you to work, or use around the house when needed. When it comes to safety I feel that you should always ensure that you are protecting yourself. Although employers are required to provide PPE, I find that you should always ensure you have what you need, even if that means you need to bring your own. Comfort, and quality, can also be key for safety. Taking safety in your own hands is the first step to a safe work place, and although you can rely on your employer sometimes, start with yourself.
