Tools are overrated. I own a TON of tools, and while I'm not a luthier I have a very complete shop. What I have found is that you can buy every expensive gadget/gizmo known to man in the quest to find the right tool, but in the end it will filter down to the tools you like to use, and that feel comfortable. I have found that some of my best tools, are the least expensive pieces of junk you can buy, what makes them good is that I spent the time to set them up so they would work well. I think tool setup is more important than the $$$ spent on them. Cutting tools, like chisel's and knives, sometimes lesser quality steel is better because it sharpens more easily ... Knowing how to sharpen a blade, is more valuable than owning the finest steel ever produced ... as well. Take for example our kitchen knives at home. The knife we use more than any other is a cheap malaysian knife picked up in chinatown for about $3. It dulls quickly but it hones to razor sharpness in about 2 seconds with absolutely zero effort. I'm not just talking about a little sharp, but razor sharp. Regards, Jeff
