Anything helpful you recommend for building.
Ok, seriously. Steelex Bowl Carving Tool. Double-Stick Tape. Good, affordable chisels. Good Drill Bits. More important than you think. Fret Press caul. Well worth it. PowerStrop. Wecheer Power Carver. Cheaper alternative to Foredom. Throw away your Dremel! Reciprocating carver for Wecheer (above). You won't believe how much carving control you have until you have tried this. Amazing, amazing tool. Makes carving effortless and fast. Essential if you have arthritis (or don't want to develop it quicker than you have to). Flexcut gouges for the reciprocating handpiece.
I prefer knob creek... Kidding.
