Gift ideas needed
Hi everyone...would like suggestions for some good starter tools (a kit?) for a birthday gift. This person is a talented carpenter and woodworker turning 80. He is meticulous and always taking on new projects, e.g. he learned to build a boat and he built kitchen cabinets with handmade rosewood nails. I've introduced him to Japanese woodworking (through YouTube) and I'd like to give him a few tools to try and whet his appetite. He's got a collection of tools he's accumulated over his life, but none of these. What would be appealing to someone like that? Pull saw? Chisels? combo? On Amazon there's a starter kit by Kakuri, but I don't know if it's decent. I don't want to give him something crappy so he he doesn't get the right experience. From what I've read on other threads here the Kikuhiromaru chisels or KANETAKE are highly recommended. I'd appreciate any help! I need to keep my budget around $300. If he likes the feel and results, I know he would invest in more.
