 Re: micro tools? Most caricature books have a list of tools used. A good knife is a must. I would not recommend the micro tools just yet. They are not as versatile - you can actually get a few tools that can be used both for relief and caricature.  |

| Re: micro tools? Same advice as we gave to another beginner yesterday. Start off easy with a beginners set from Little Shavers, Smoky Mountain Woodcarvers....etc... and once you get your hands dirty you'll know exactly what sizes work for you.

| Re: micro tools? According to recent posts Dockyards received an "A" in usage and durability. I haven't bought a set yet because the prices vary so much from dealer to dealer. I know that I've seen sets between $34-$39 but the last show that I was at they wanted $55. Also I'm very vested in Flexcut's. Haven't fully made up my mind yet......

| Re: micro tools? I LOVE Dockyards (of course, I own Dockyards and Flexcuts - lol) and I buy all my Dockyards from Rick at http://littleshavers.com/ because they come totally sharpened, honed and ready to use. hmmmmm That's why I buy everything at Little Shavers.  |
