About
Common Bench Tool Library
Common Bench is a small tool library run by two retired set builders in Dogpatch. We keep our craft and build tools on a shelf at Studio Beyond Us so students can borrow them by the hour or the day instead of buying gear they will use twice. Every kit is cleaned, checked and restocked between bookings.

Equipment Rental
Specialty Paint and Brush Kit
Try the paints you cannot justify buying yet: a set of artist-grade gouache, acrylic inks, metallic and iridescent acrylics, and a roll of quality brushes from fine liners to wide flats. Borrow the kit for a session or a day, paint what you need, and return it; we restock the paints between bookings.

FAQs
Q: Where do I pick up a kit?
All kits live on the Common Bench shelf at Studio Beyond Us on Ocean Avenue. Check in at the front desk at your booking time.
Q: What if something breaks?
Tell the front desk when you return the kit. Normal wear is on us; we only ask you to cover a part you lose.
