Hi there,
I am brand new to woodworking and have been reading Roy Underhill's first book. I am very interested in working wood with only hand tools. The only tools I have are a drawknife (from my grandfather) and an axe from lowes. I live in Columbia, SC and have been visiting every antique store/flea market in the area with no success.
My wife and I are meeting some friends in Asheville in a couple of weeks. Are there any good places up there where I could find workable carpenters hatchet, froe and adz? Would it be a better bet for me to save up and purchase new tools?
Thanks for any advice that will help as I get started working wood.
