[Woodcarver] Tools

[Daniel Heine]

Mike & Patty,

I have often seen proces for carving tools on ebay exceed the retail price.
Especially for some of the swiss made tools and the Flexcut. I saw one of
the 11 peice sets sell last fall for $105.00. Last I saw, Rockler had them
for $79.99. Be careful on ebay. One thing you can often find for carving
tools on ebay is the "Walnut Hollow" brand 4 pc set of palm tools. These are
made by Ramelson, and are of good quality. They usually sell for about
$10.00.

get as close to what you can get them new for and sometimes I watch them go
for more with shipping & handleing.

I still look but not much comeing through lately.
Thanks

  I got my miller falls carving tool set on ebay.  they were from the 50's
in near new condition.  I paid 26 bucks for a six piece set and have never
regreted the purchase.  they hold an edge well.  i believe it  if you say
that they are cheaply made now.  a lot of american tools are now being made
overseas and are of inferior quality.  so I amend my previous statement to
say "a set of older Miller falls carving tools".  It has been my experience
that ebay is good place to acquire tools for a better price than most
places.  only thing is that you must do your research so you know what
you're purchasing.         while were on the subject of tools, does any one
have an opinion on Marples carving tools.  Are they decent quality?  Thanks
in advance        Maura
