Thanks for the book titles. Yes, it's available - not sure how forest-friendly it is. Last weekend I got a contact for someone who deals in demolition material, haven't called yet, but I'm hoping he may have some. A house i lived in had all the window frames in mahogany and pernambuco wood on...

Taken with my mobile, a bit blurry:

Hello, I'd like to ask for suggestions please for a good book on woodworking with hand tools. I was here on the forum a bit over a week ago asking about tools for stringed instrument building (and thanks for all the suggestions there, I've made a good start on acquiring some basic tools) and I...

so sorry, is the wood saw in the link I posted not right for the job? Does it need to be finer like from a zona saw?

If I can squeeze in one more vaguely related question in this thread? : It's about scrapers. I can buy a very old US stanley #80 scraper with blade for R$90. I've been told that this is too big for ukuleles as well. To buy a new card scraper here however is actually more expensive (around...

Thanks Mignal, Sawyer, Ed65 and Cheshirechappie. The knife I ordered was this one in the middle: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j_oR-kMNpS0/ ... 122840.jpg I was thinking of using this as a general carving tool and use scalpels for any finer cutting. The curved knives are interesting and act...

I was talking recently on a ukulele forum with a luthier from Bradford, thought it was you for a while there as he has a similar username but I must be mistaken. I googled cuchillo, is it a chefs knife? I was thinking of getting a used Stanley 51 spokeshave but another person on the ukulele...

You're saving me lots of money Mignal with each message. I do have a book that's coming my way, by ship I think, on lutherie, but it's yet to arrive. How do you carve out necks, with a wood rasp?

OK. I'll consider getting something cheap - I may buy from a shop rather than online and see if someone can recommend something reasonably OK for wood. I've already done some reading on sharpening. Mignal or other luthiers, can you suggest a good range of chisel sizes for small instruments like...

so things like this will hold an edge? http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB- ... -uyust-_JM these are very cheap. Mignal, I would have thought that baroque avatar of yours would take some fancy chisel or knife work - no?

These were the chisels that I liked (I'll need to strip some details from the URL): www [dot] renaissancewoodworker [dot] com/review-of-veritas-o1-bench-chisels

Thanks Pete and D_W. Yes, that's a good idea to order one. D_W, can you please send a link for the type you mean? I'm planning to use the chisels in lutherie, mainly. If you can suggest styles of chisels, that would be great. When I was communicating with the maker I sent him some photos of some...

Dear forum, This is my first post here. I'm starting off in woodworking and looking to purchase some basic tools. I live in Brazil where options are limited. It's not generally worth while buying through Ebay or other foreign sites because of high taxes and a very bad exchange rate, unless of...
