I am looking at buying some extra lathe tools (bowl gouges etc) and I was
wondering what brands people go with? I see some have had problems with
Marples (some say they are good), but other than that, I haven't seen many
posts on the brands of tools. I figure the two things of interest would be
how long they hold an edge and overall "quality" of the handle (how it
feels, balance, sturdiness etc).

Currently, I just have a "starter" type set so I don't really have much to
compare it to so I would appreciate any opinions or suggestions.

Thanks
Darren
