I wish I could remember who said it so I could quote it , and by no means is this a knock at the above list, because at some point we end up getting all the toys anyway, but this is my list.
Eyes - priceless, always protect them.
Mind - a terrible thing to waste. also used to process the info of endless books, magazines, articles, lecterers, demos, club members advise, online advise etc.
Imagination - this ones not easy to explain, if I have to , learn all the Asian rules about bonsai styling, twice.
Hardware - pruning shears 8-9" - $29.00-$49.00
Ambition - Go make a Bonsai
Nerve - Go ahead! Cut it off.
Now the hard part - A good job, because you are going to want to buy more bonsai materials. But this last step is optional, kind of.
The jist of it is for a beginner, all you really need is the pruning shears.
Ahhh you say you forgot wire. Nope thats advanced beginner.
