Humm... Ok so I got a gift card for Lee Valley ($200.) looked around the shop and tried to decide if I wanted/needed .. I am new to the Neanderthal thing and tried to decide if I wanted a plane or chisels..
Well the planes I have are old ones I got from my father and grandfather,Stanley block planes, and no#s 4, 6 and 7...
What else would I need? Got them sharpened and tuned *maybe* and te be frank all of the different types at LV leave me confused.. what will I need/want??? so I looked around the shop and my eyes lit on my Marples chisels..( sheffield england) thought I was buying top o' the line when I got them 5 years ago.. and they are better than the "tool shaped objects" that I had... three of them hold an edge for a while... three of them DO NOT! So what is the consensus about the Narex chisels ??? or should I back up and rethink the planes??
HELP!
(drowning in a sea of indecision)
