Ok, i'm nearly done with my tool-shopping. Thanks to the excellent advice on this forum, I have purchased a Jet 14" bandsaw (love it), Hitachi C/S, Triton workstation and various other bits.
The only thing left for me to get (before I go to bruce luckhursts course - will probably want to buy extra stuff afterwards.) is a set of chisels for parring and mortising and some saws to cut tenons and dovetails.
I have a budget of £200
What is the best that I can purchase for that? I already have a japanese ice-bear tenon-saw, but would like something better for dovetails, I was also looking at the Kirshen Chisel set from Axminster. As for saws I quite the look of either some of the japanese stuff or the Axminster Victor range.
Any advice would be greatly helpful as i'm a little confused as what to get, as I don't want to end up with cheap inferior tools and without being able to use them first I would really appreciate any of your insight.
One last thing, Are the Cosman or Charlesworth DVD's worth the money? Her-in-doors need some idea's for birthday presents.
