Is there a brand name for the cheap ones and where can I buy these
Okay, so where did you get this $28 bargain set of chisels?
LOVE Stubai and Swiss Made! Back in the day, I tried cheaper brands. Saved my $ and bought tools I still use today ... 20+ years later and I still love them. Just bury me with them. 🙂 Really enjoy your channel, Alec.
Thanks.... But you should provide a LINK for the Chinese set of tools!
You know it take zero effort to put a little dab of glue or epoxy to the handle to make removal harder. I was in China a few years ago and was visiting a woodcarving shop that specialize in those massive screen reliefs and I noted the larger tools had tight fitting but not permanently attached handles. The owner told me they prefer it this way as it made it easier to change handles when they broke..He noted and I agree that unglued handles did no worse than one slathered with adhesives.. In the same light, you will notice that Japanese samurai swords costing thousands of dollar and strong enough for battle do not have permanently attached handles. Just a difference in Culture...

Very neat! Thanks for the background! I definitely did not feel too put off by the handle coming apart!
This is a great video that I would recommend to any new or beginner carvers! Thanks for covering not only the quality of steel which most of us focus on but also the often forgotten grinding angle 👍
More pearls of wisdom. Thanks Alec!
Brilliant Alec. These videos are fantastic. A great deal of information. Thanks ❤❤❤

Glad you like them!
Nice review. Thankyou
I always wondered about those cheaper tools so this is a cool test. Also, you remind me of Alton Brown in this one! Thanks for the video.
Do you have a link to the cheap Chinese madr gouges?
Hey Alec, would you send me the address of those gouges. Love your work, also together with Doug.
They sound the same on the drop test. This is critical ;) really excellent video!

Hahaha! True!
Your introduction was super well done, Sir I've got some Chinese woodworking junkie chisels that aren't worth the location for storage in my garage I think you are being honest, but I grind as I feel working. Holding up is my test Thanks

Thank you!!
link to these tools..?
Could the cheap set be kept in good working conditon, if its sharpened regularly, and can it be sharpened?
Hello Alec. I really like your work and enjoyed your comparison video. Only thought that is contrary to yours is that I’ve had a set of Buck Brothers plastic handle tools that have perhaps a 20 degree angle and the steel is beefy. I have used these for many years on tough wood projects where there is hardened pitch or burl. The Buck Brothers have durability and I don’t have to worry or sacrifice my German made tools for these tough projects like pine knot faces. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.

I love that you’ve found a use for them!
I tried to order these tools without success. Can you help get a set?
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
The music in the middle of your video made my girlfriend dance and start to take of her clothes...THANKS!
The Chinese tools are not polished as are others, so I wouldn't expect a polished finish. Also, I wouldn't rush to judgement on the steel quality without testing hardness and metal specs. I appreciate your bringing the cheaper tools to our attention! Thanks!!!
09:25 that means it's multiple purpose. No need to buy any handles :))
Where can you find this set ?
I want to start carving with no clue and a interest. Glaad yt show me you I have that one you called shit pine handle hahahahahahahaha
tried to look for this set on the china made site what i found that looked similar i can buy for $25.00 only if I buy 500 sets?
Where do you get the 28 dollar set from? Also, why are you trying to make people have expensive pee?
Never buy Chinese tools.
Hi Alec We have a woodcarving class at our Senior Center and these tools would be put to good use. Please send me contact info so that I can buy a set. John Ciccone
