Our Shared Supply Shelf, Labelled

New volunteers always ask where things are, so we photographed the supply shelf and labelled everything.

We tested everything on the long table at print night, with real zines and real volunteers, not in a lab. Our criteria were simple: does it work, does it last, and does it hurt to use for an hour.

Cheap tools are fine for learning. The moment you notice a tool slowing you down, that is the moment to buy the better version.

Nothing here is sponsored. We paid for all of it, and some of it we paid for twice because the first one broke.

We keep a guest book by the door. Some people write their name, some write a poem, and one person drew the entire floor plan of the shop from memory. It is the best zine we have never printed.

If something here doesn't work for you, write in. Half of our how-tos have been corrected by readers, and the corrections are always better than the original.
