Many carvers start out with a few flat chisels and eventually get into greater detail and see the need for the true carving tools. YES, Get those if you can. The Spindle mounted sanding mops. Great stuff...DON'T get the sanding stars for anything but Heavy sanding, little control and too rough. The "Mop's" with all the Fingers are Great! Enco has them in smaller sizes , shank mounted and less expensive. DON'T get the flaap wheels they are too rough and ruin the surface. Great for metal but Not carving wood. HERE is where you can see them in Enco's Awesome catalog, ask for one too.
