Beginners wood craft tools

[mark_goldfinch]

I have been reading a lot of books and watching a fair few vids on green woodworking, I'm looking to get my hands some fairly cheap basic tools to get started ie draw knife carving axe and maybe a froe. As Im very inexperienced with it all I don't want to spend the earth so if any one has any of the above just laying around gathering dust and taking up precious work shop space then I'll gladly provide them with a new home. Thanks mark

Just won this on eBay for £8. What are your thoughts. Yeah it old and a bit ragged but should be good for a practice on the shave horse. http://bit.ly/IiCf1n

Looks good for the money.

 

I bought a new drawknife for £20 or £25 at an old fashioned tool shop in Bristol. General thinking is that the old fashioned tools were better made than the modern stuff.

Don't tell that to Ben Orford.

Lol, have been contacting Ben, and I'm going to order a gransfors wild life hatchet from him in the new year. (Late Christmas present)

Ok, there are exceptions! Perhaps I should have said mass produced modern tools...
