casey :

Do a search for 'woodcarving supplies' and you will get more than you need. I believe that Harbor Freight is <harborfreighttools.com>. I am sure you could find them in a search for 'Harbor Freight'.

Good Luck,

:P While I buy some things at Harbor Freight, carving tools isn't one of them. Most of HF tools come from China and they do NOT consider quality a high priority. Check out the suggestion posted above. There are a lot of very nice folks out there who can supply you with quality tools at what ever price you can afford. As always, buy the best and you will never be disappointed.

I've had good luck with www.littlemountaincarving.com. They have an online catalog and the service has been good.

In the Mar.-April copies of Chit-Chat Magazines you will find all the addresses you need.

You could check out www.woodcraft.com, that's where I've gotten my most recent tools.

I buy all of my pfeil tools at Woodcraft. Of course, I don't have much choice as they are the only dealer in the US. I would also suggest contacting Rick at www.littleshavers.com. for tools. For the benefit of those new to carving, here are some brand names that you can trust to be fine tools (the list is not exhaustive and I expect other members here will add their favorites to the list): pfeil, Two Cherries, Henry Taylor, FlexCut, Cape Forge, Diobsud Forge, Stubai, Dastra, Robert Sorby. Watch out for the sets advertised on e-bay, most of them are Chinese junk. They do have one Liquidator there advertising Marples 6-piece sets for about $20 which seems like a good price for a decent beginners set of tools.

There's a guy in Canada that sells Pfeil. He sells on ebay, but has an on-line store as well. His $US prices are lower than Woodcrafts, and his freight is really cheap. He promotes a set for $180, under the category of tools.
