Historic preservation work does not carry a high tool requirement for much of the basic work. A student can be well prepared with a relatively small and affordable set of tools. Many people already working in the construction industry will already have most of these tools.
These are lists of the tools, models and approximate costs.

We are looking to work with the Friends of Fort Worden (a 501(c)3 non-profit) to accept donation on behalf of restoration work at the Fort.
