chisels

Well, I have a slow speed wide sharpening wheel (wet) for the rough 
work, and a couple older stones that need replacing. I have pretty much 
decided on ordering the Japanese chisels I posted... white steel seems 
to come highly recommended from a lot of holds. Stones I'm going to 
order tonite as well.  I get the message folks.... mirror sharp makes 
for good work and lets a beginner at this job like myself have an 
outside chance of making things look like I've been at it all my life.

But Terry my friend...,   since you asked the question first... let me 
throw it back at you.  What do you use ?

Tomak, which came through on another post, is made in Sweden I 
understand... just around the corner.  I have a feeling I am going to 
like this kind of work, so I doubt it will be long before I spend some 
bucks on some new tools :)

Cheers

    And now for the next can-of-worms. What kind of a sharpening system
    do you
    have?
