I've been exploring power carving techniques using a Dremel, and I'm really interested in transitioning to mallet carving. I've heard great things about Pfeil tools, but they're a bit too pricey for me right now. I'm mainly looking for recommendations on gouges and a mallet that won't cost a fortune but still deliver decent quality. Any suggestions?

I've been carving for years, and while Pfeil tools are indeed top-notch, I recommend starting slowly. When I first got into mallet carving, I bought just three chisels to see how I liked it. You can find them sold individually at outlets like Woodcraft, which can help keep costs down. Good luck with your carving journey!
