2. Lacrosse crosslace (or chord that is .1" in diameter). I order mine online here. You'll need 149 feet in the following 15 lengths (they match up with the instructions that you'll print out in the next step).
Strand 1: 55 feet
Strand 2: 5 feet
Strand 3: 16 feet
Strand 4: 16 feet
Strand 5: 5 feet
Strand 6: 5 feet
Strand 7: 5 feet
Strand 8: 5 feet
Strand 9: 5 feet
Strand 10: 5 feet
Strand 11: 5 feet
Strand 12: 9 feet
Strand 13: 4 feet
Strand 14: 5 feet
Strand 15: 4 feet
3. A drill or dremel. I have a drill so I also needed a hex chuck for tiny bits: http://http//amzn.to/14WVnIa
4. 3/64" drill bit. I got mine on amazon: http://amzn.to/11i5qJz
5. T-pins. You'll need 92 of them.
6. A file. Any size will do. We just need this to file the corners of the cube a bit.
Not all of the following is necessary, but you'll definitely need something to help weave the strands. We used 7 and 8 almost exclusively, but 9 and/or 10 would work as well.
7. A knitting needle. This is really helpful for straightening strands and for getting under strands.
8. A threaded needle for tying the knot.I got mine from Martin Combs, who has a website here: http://bit.ly/18nyX7U From there you can shoot him an email to order a medium brass needle.
9. Another alternative is a latched hook: http://bit.ly/15SXEmp
10. Or small needle nose pliers.
