Congrats guys, make us proud!

In response to the question of what kind of tools I use:

Row 1: Rotring 500 .5 mm mechanical pencil, various Faber-Castell Pitt pens, #11 X-acto, eraser, and a modified wire cup brush attached to a handle (for pulling out grain texture in the wood).

Row 2: Various Dockyard Micro tools, the ones I use the most are the 1.5 mm V and U gouges, the rest are U gouges and one skew chisel. At the end (red handle) is a 25 line E.C. Lyons scratch board tool, that can be used for pulling with the grain to produce parallel lines.

Row 3: Three of those fancy McClain’s tools, 3 mm V, 3 mm U, and a 1.5 mm U gouges. A middle grade Japanese 2 mm V gouge (also from McClain’s. Three Lee Valley (or “Powergrip”) tools 2 mm U gouge, 6 mm U gouge, and a flat chisel. Last is a # 9 sweep “Denny” tool that I use for clearing.

I tend to use the Dockyard micro tools the most, but when my hand begins to get cramped from using the same tool I like being able to switch to a different brand tool. Hope that helps!
