SteveKorz home \| projects \| blog 2133 posts in 2530 days #10 posted 07-22-2008 04:03 PM	Happy Birthday! It certainly depends on what you have and what you plan on making. You might want to consider a really good set of chisels or something. Maybe a jig to make fine jointery… something that you would find rewarding that will last… so in 30-40 years you can say, “I’ve had these since my 15th birthday and I just can’t wear them out.” Buy a nice quality tool now, and when you get older you will really cherish it. -- As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
