What types of jobs do you need to be able to complete in your at-home or personal shop? How do these jobs relate to your immediate goals (i.e., if you plan on working for a manufacturer or apprenticing under a gunsmith, do you need a personal shop?)

2. make a list of the five most important tools you need to be able to complete those jobs.

3. Research the cost and availability of those tools on several well-known vendors' websites. What is the total cost?

4. How will you prioritize which tools to purchase first?

5. Are there any tools in your immediate needs that you expect you will have to make?

2. What is one type of job (such as installing hand-guards or a buttstock) where you think it would be appropriate to do your measurements using a tape or rule? When would you need a caliper? When would you need a micrometer?
4. Explain what the course text means when it says the "dial indicator is used to measure 'travel' or play".
6. Another use for the dial indicator is measuring "runout". Define the term "runout", and cite one job or project you think a gunsmith might undertake in which measuring runout would be important.
