I've had an interest in carving for a while now but the list of things to get to never seems to let me get serious about it. But, this coming weekend there is an estate sale a few miles away in which the gentleman in question has put up for sale his carving tools, supplies, 20+ years worth of carving magazine subscriptions, books, etc. This is sale #2 of a 2 weekend sale. The first was this past weekend where I got some good buys on some neanderthal tools. I keep telling myself I need to go back there. Maybe this will be something to allow me to try my hand at some simple carving down the road.
Question is, for a complete newbie, what are some good basic tools to look for?
Here is a link to the sale if you want to look around. Looks like there will be quite a bit of wood at this sale as well. http://salesbysteiner.com/5110-timbe...l-estate-sale/
