[Woodcarver] tool question-Sculpture House Tools

[Steve Klein]

Hi Dan,
    If I carved for a living or carved every day, I would look for the 
best I could find.  I carve for a hobby and maybe once a week.  If I am 
in a class,  then I carve a lot.  I may only use these tools about once 
a month if I don't have a project.  I do have some Warren tools.


    Thank you and everyone for your opinions.

Steve
