woodworking toolkits?

[SKS_madman]

Is there any type of woodworking "kit" that comes with enough chizels to do basic inlays and carvings? Not after something on zonie's level here :shocking: , but 1-2 inlays that look decent would be nice. :hmm:

Check out Lee Valley, Or woodworker's warehouse, Garret wade,Tools for working wood, etc.. they all sell nice stuff.
not badly priced..
You will need good tools

I also use Lee Valley, the two long-handled kits on the right of White Buffalo's pic. They're not expensive, they're American made and they're nice to use. Some people prefer the bulbous handles (it's the same chisels, just different handles), but I find it easier to be precise with the long handles.

Lee Valley also does an excellent range of sharpening stones and well worth getting at the same time. I'm currently using their Japanese water stones, 1000, 4000 and 8000 and find them very good.

shamless plug
Our Norton waterstones are better
The 1OOO Grit are harder then the Japanese and they last a long time. I have been using one to sharpen my knifes with for a couple of years with no cupping..
All the stones are made in america,except the 4000 grit, only because it is so hard to make.. it's made in Italy, go figure
A few swipes on the 1000 grit and then to a Hard Arkansas.
I am talking about the transulcent stuff. It looks like marble, not the soft crap that TOTW sells.
We have a Noton Pike web site, but there isn't much content on it.

I've got a knife sharpening set (triangle shape, course, medium, fine) thats been under regular use since my grandpa was in his 20's, no dip or serious wear on it yet, I'll stick to my set. ::
