Discussions on this forum are membership-run. I (Mary May) will monitor conversations and will try and contribute as needed. However, I can't guarantee that I will always have time to keep up with the discussions. Please feel free to contribute, as the only way this forum will be successful is if members get involved! I will also be the "judge and juror" with inappropriate, rude, or offensive behavior, so play nice!
Bad timing...

If you're still looking for cheap alternatives, I have found some carving chisels in garage sales. Not much. But, got a gun carving set from one. And some micro ones from another (sort of an estate sale of a guy who was a model maker).
After getting tools from garage sales over a couple summers, I then had a smaller number of tools to look for or buy new. Like, I got a good block plane, and other used handtools and bits, so I bought a new router plane in Lie-Nielsen.
