OK guys & Gals,
Since I hope to have my roof on soon (leave it at that, Mark & Larry), I'm starting to work out my tool wish list. I've got a few planes so far: One #7, one #4, one #5 and two block planes. Plus a couple of spokeshaves, and two good sized handsaws, one rip, one crosscut.
I'd like to pick up a decent set of chisels, any recommendations for not too much money? It is almost rust hunting season, and one of the larger flea markets in the area opens up in a few weeks. I'm planning on going shopping there later this summer, but would like a basic set to add to, instead of relying on finding some users at Bouckville.
What other basic hand tools would you recommend for general shop usage? I'm far from giving up my tailed tools, so think average user, not pure neanderthal.
Brands I should aim for, avoid etc...?
