Where do u buy chisels?
I'm guessing you are just now starting to work with chisels and I will advise you not to get a chisel that is a cheap one because it won't hold an edge. Get one or even a set made by Stanley Tool. They are not overly expensive but not trash either. Go to a place like the Home Depot or Lowe's or even a smaller Hardware store to buy them. I could tell you where to buy professional ones but those run into hundreds of dollars. Literally. You also should buy a good sharpening stone to keep your cutting edge as they dull fast. Also an inexpensive sharpening guide will help you if your not sure of the angle to sharpen them at. You just roll them on the stone with your chisel screwed into it. Very easy. If you are buying this as a gift please pass the real cheap ones up as they truly are trash and a waste of your money. And don't get them at a hobby store because you will pay twice the money than you should be paying for them. They have a huge mark up on them there. Have fun and please be careful not to cut your finger off. There is one good thing, they are so sharp you don't even feel it. Kind of not!
