[Woodcarver] Newbie question on tools

[Mike & Patty Wilcox]

I have done a lot of looking & $  is also a concern with me
I have found a palm set of Hennry Taylors (6)   For under $60
these are cheaper due to being a little smaller than the regular ones
but I don't see a big problem with that
I also know that if you want to get something better later on you could sell
them on e-bay & probably get more than you payed for them  or you will only
loss a little
Top tools I am told at a good price.
If you want the e-mail address let me know they also give a free gift plus
free shipping over 50$
