Good one, Craig, I forget that a list of tools needs to contain those that aren't so portable, such as a good lamp!
I just bought one at my local Meijer, it was only about $25 but it is a high intensity LED lamp. It has a flexible stem that I can get to seemingly any angle. It doesn't have a brightness adjustment, but for my purposes it is fantastic.
You don't realise how necessary a good lamp is until you actually have one!
I also have a small LED battery powered lamp that has a flexible stem which also forms the base. It isn't as bright as the other one, but I can fold it into my reed making case and set up anywhere!
And if you're anything like me and love funky thread, Forrests has a selection of variegated spools. I like these because while I number my staples, each of my reeds looks slightly different and are easier to differentiate quickly. I am just waiting for my latest batch of cane to arrive so I can try out my new red/yellow/purple thread. I love colour! :P
