Gear list only. ‘To start’ is our separate minimum estimate, so the two can differ.

Budgets are rough estimates. Buy used where you can. Don’t stock up before your first job.

Mounts, furniture, and hinges all run on a 20V drill/driver with two batteries (about $179-$239 at WebstaurantStore, checked Oct 19, 2026). Add tools when a paid job asks for them, not before.
