[Woodcarver] What tools we use? was new to the List

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Terry,

Welcome to Bill's List.

I use most of them but my top 4 are in this order.
1) Stubai (Full size)
2) Hirsch, 2 Cherry [the same with different stickers] (Full size)
3) Lamp [I think is also the same as Hirsch with different name] (Full size)
4) Pfeil, also called Swiss Made (Full size)

I don't use Flex Cut so I can't comment on them although many carvers love
them.

Also acceptible brands are Henry Taylor and Buck Bros.

Stay away from those cheep sets from China sometimes sold on eBay.
