[Woodcarver] Help again with tools!

[john archibald]

 Because I'm new to carving, a bit over a year, maybe I could suggest
something.

  Get a good bench knife and learn how to sharpen it.  It took me a while to
realise the importance of sharpening.
Then when you buy a good tool you'll know how to sharpen it and keep it that
way.

   Throwing money at tools that you can n't keep sharp is money wasted.

  Just my experience.  After the first year's apprenticeship my carving is
rubbish but I can sharpen.
