Tools I Want to Get

Japanese: そろえたい道具

You don’t have to buy all your kitchen tools right from the start. Start with just the basics: “chopping, arranging, and cooking.” Once you start using them, you’ll see what you really need.

You don't have to buy all the kitchen tools right away. Start with just the basics: "chopping, arranging, and cooking."

Essential Items to Have

Cutting: Glass cutter (an oil-based cutter is easiest to use), two pairs of glass-cutting pliers, a handheld cutter (for notching), and a ruler with a non-slip surface.

Lay out: tweezers, fusing adhesive, graph paper, and a permanent marker.

Firing: Shelves, parchment paper or release agent, ceramic fiber.

Protective Equipment: Dust mask, safety goggles, gloves.

Here's the key point

Start with the bare minimum. Add more only when you feel you need it.

You don't have to buy expensive tools right from the start; you can create your work with just a few basic items.

Common Pitfalls

Instead of spending time collecting tools, you’ll improve much faster if you just try making one first. Once you use them, you’ll clearly see which ones you need and which ones you don’t.
