[Woodcarver] Tools

[Mike & Patty Wilcox]

Thanks so much for the help but the only way I am going to be able to start
getting tools right now will be 1 or 2 at a time.
with 4 kids still at home into everything they can participate in , 8 piece
set is out of my pockek book at this time.
I do use a power tool some but mostly it's by hand.
