carving tool question

06/11/2008 09:51 PM NLamens

hey Ad......this is a very tough question you present.

What is it you are going after????

If I were you, I'd decide what it is you want to carve, then buy specifically for that task. Over time your tools will duplicate and you purchase less.

For instance if you were going after a Newport shell, you'd want a 3mm(1/8") and a 6mm(1/4) but what degree do you want????? 60 degree, 45, 90????

Why did you select all #5's??? I do not look at this as a good starter set. But Nobody knows what you are planning to carve. You got to mix your sweeps as a starting set and you need a #1 1/2" chisel (carving).

Ad..........maybe Calvin will chime in here he's a carver. But back-up a bit and start with what it is you want to carve, then figure out the least amount of tools you'll need.

And don't forget some slip stones man.
