-	* a demo table to show all the kits that people can make
-	* Tables and chairs for people to solder at
-	* Lighting (if the room doesn't have enough) -- several lamps different lamps make for a nice feel, too
-	* Soldering irons, each with a stand and sponge (ideally one per participant, but people can share, if necessary)
-	* Small wire cutters (ideally one per participant, again, people can share, if necessary)
-	* Solder (with lead is way better!, but unleaded will work if that's all you can get, but please try to get lead solder)
-	* Hot glue gun, with glue sticks to fit it
-	* AA alkaline batteries (about 2 per person is good)
-	* Power strips (with one outlet for each solder iron, plus lighting, plus a hot glue gun, plus daisy chaining)
-	* AC extension cords to get power to each power strip
-	* Printouts of the [http://www.tvbgone.com/mfaire/soldercomic/soldercomic.pdf "Soldering Is Easy"] comic
