I would like some suggestions for a basic set of carving chisel sizes. I have a cheap set of chisels - it is a 6 piece set of Buck Brothers from Home Depot (a couple sweeps, a 6mm v-gouge, 7 and 9mm gouges - at least I think that's the size - and another gouge with a scoop). Maybe those are fine; I don't know. If you were going to get a half-dozen or so basic carving chisels for long rifle stocks, what would they be.
Also, what bevel angles should they have? My cheap set came with something like 45-degree bevels, which seems absolutely useless. They will be good to practice sharpening, but that might be all. I don't know.
