We have a famous restaurant here in Atlanta called "The Varsity" where when you walk in the door you are immediately posed with the question, "What-ya Have?".
Going over and over the list of recommended carving tools I'm trying to figure out what I have and what I need. Unfortunately I purchased sets in lieu of having the wonderful buying advice that we have here. Until now getting good advice on wood carving is like asking someone to give away state secrets.
So here's what I have:
All carving tools, "Swiss Made" or "Hirsch" denoted with an "S" or "H". All are straight gouges except for the #3/10mm-H.
#2, 25mm-S; #2, 10mm-H (skew); #3, 10mm-H; #3, 12mm-H; #3, 20mm-H; #5, 10mm-S; #7, 4mm-S; #7, 6mm-H; #7,8mm-S #9, 12mm-H; #10, 12mm-H; #12, 6mm-S; #41, 6mm-H (viener)
It appears that what I need to do the lessons here is: #3, 6mm; #7, 14mm; #3, 3mm; #11, 3mm; #7, 12mm; #11, 5mm
Am I on the right track? What did I miss?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
