This is an e-mail I got from Bosko regarding tools. I hope it is helpfull.
The tools;

Marples blue handled chisels; you can get a 4 pc set at Depot I think they
run 20 to 30 dollars. If you want to get fancy (or work plan to work large)
they also make a 2" and a 1-1/2"
"Wood is good" synthetic mallet, I'd get the medium weight, (20oz) this you
can pick up at Rockler on Clairmont Mesa.
Something to sharpen with, a cheap 2"X6" sharpening stone is OK and they run
about (?) some people really like to make a big thing about sharpening
stones, but for beginners the regular ones are fine, again I think you can
get these at Depot.
1 lumber crayon, I like blue or black.

Next this stuff is not necessary but it does make the job easier,
A draw shave with a BLADE (not total width) of at least 9 inches wide. A
small hatchet or axe, I used to have a old Sears roofers hammer/hatchet
which I loved until it was broken.

Cheers.
Matt
