After working with some Paul Sellers videos for AmericanWoodworker.tv I’ve picked up an itch to start working wood by hand. Paul’s created a great series at his blog on buying good tools cheap; I love quality at low prices and have created a quick list of things I’ll watch out for while I’m out and about:
Planes: Stanley #4 1/2, #4
Hand Saws: Veritas 14 teeth per inch dovetail saw, Disston D8
Chisels: Robert Sorby boxwood handle
Stones: EZE Lap diamond plates, $159.99
Chisel Hammer: Thor Hammer
Squares: Stanley Rabone Combination Square 12″ – 300mm Professional Cast Iron 0-46-151
Knife: Stanley 10-049
