Being completely new to woodworking, I have no woodworking tools of my own. I've already narrowed down the list of planes to the ones that will suit my needs in (acoustic) guitar building, and now I need to hone in (pun intended) on some chisels.
To start, I wil only need a few and would like to buy quality. In reality, I could start off with just two, a cranked-neck chisel and a double-bevel carving chisel. However, I'd like to also get some smaller chisels for clean up of small routed channels and detail work (1/16" & 1/8").
I don't like buying junk, but I don't want to pay a ton just for a name, either. An average of $50 per chisel is reasonable to me, but will pay more if it is truly a jump in quality.
For sharpening, I am planning on going the Norton water stone route unless anyone has compelling reasons to try something else.
Thank you all for your time!
