Ric, I'd recommend looking at www.japanwoodworker.com That said, it looks like you are pretty much there anyway. I think as far as selecting a particular chisel or two for, say, your notching, is very individual. I know some who use standard bench chisels, others who use a mortising chisel, still others using crank neck chisels, still others using firmer chisels or even paring chisels. I'd also echo Jim's comment that unless you like the aesthetics of a nice line-up of fine chisels above your bench, I'd go one at a time and find the size/style that you prefer. Best, William R.
