    Default Which chisel first?

    OK I know I could search more but I didn't find my answer when I did.

    I have the lathe but have not yet had a chance to do anything with it. I will be attending a club or a turnfest asap.

    Until then I will start building up my chisels. Question is what do I need for the first 5 or 6?

    roughing?
    oval skew?
    Domed scraper
    spindle?
    Parting & beading?
    Deep bowl?
    Sizes?

    Will be getting P&N's probably from Carbitech as they are on my way home from work.

    Also need a chuck for my H&F WL-20, is the basic HAFCO ok or should I get something better?

    Thanks in advance.

    I started with a basic boxed set of HSS chisels from Carbatec. Roughing, skew, spindle, bowl, parting tool scraper. So far that's all the chisels I own. I guess what you need first depends a bit on what you intend to make first.

    The other day I described to my daughter how to find something in the garage by saying "It's right near my big saw". A few minutes later she came back to ask: "Do you mean the black one, the green one, or the blue one?".

    Thanks Peter, was going to go that way but thought I should buy goods ones in order to build up a long lasting set. If it all falls through and turning isn't for me someone will get a good deal I suppose.

    I think I will be mainly interested in bowls and boxes etc, salt and pepper shakers?

    G'day Benny.

    This is a snip from another post that I trot of for this question.

    Read the post below & the ones that it links to.
    There is a set that a couple of the blokes mention that they started with.
    Here is a set that is not too bad to start with.
    http://vermec.tripod.com/PDFs/economychisels.pdf
    Carbtec also sell the same set.

    Cliff.
    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    I think you might find that Carbatec don't sell P&N chisels, unless they got them in the last few weeks.

    Benny why not go for a drive down to Jim Carroll's shop and have a yarn to him, he stocks P&N, best to buy unhandled and make your own.

    Get a set, that´s not the really really expensive. I am a newbie myself and found that (and still do) that i experiment and train with sharpening, and that im still trying to find out the type of grind for the different kinds of tools...
