Thinking of buying a new set of chisels. Any words of wisdom about
brands, ebay etc.? These are for general woodworking, not carving or
building a barn.

But speaking of ebay, I am totally converted to buying older Stanley
planes on ebay. The ones I have so far have needed less work to get
into good shape than the junk I have purchase retail, not being able to
spend $300 on a top of the line new plane.

Thanks.


Look for Stanley 720 or 750 chisels, and potentially turning your own
replacement handles.

Or get out the crowbar, and order a set of Lie Nielsen reproductions.
