I wrote this book. Recommending it is both compulsory and genuine!
Singer Heavy Duty 4452 Sewing Machine
this is the machine i use! zips right through jeans, canvas, and paper (and also other things).
Fiskars Forged Scissors
my daily scissors for at least a dozen years.

probably everyone needs a tiny hole punch sharp enough to pierce cardboard.
