>plumbing of one of those things that you can get wrong easily and it stays wrong and makes things shitty for a long time. Cutting into the municipal sewage lines is not something you can do on your own and not something that would be cheap even with plumbing help.
any idea on how expensive?
as a general and very rough estimate?
$500?
$2500?
$10k?

any alternatives you can think of that are simple and effective?

Sup diy, I'm in the market for some decent upper-medium grade bevel-edged chisels (Ashley Iles, Stanley SW, TraditionalWoodworker, Hirsch, Two Cherries, etc) and I'm at a bit of an impasse. All of the above require some type of tuning which I'm cool with, but I'm not sure whether to go with a socket or a tang/hooped chisel.

If possible, I'd like an imperial sized set, but if the stanley/ai/tw are dogshit, I'm open to getting metric. I've also used a 20mm two cherries chisel to cut some basic dovetails and I felt like the balance was too handle-heavy for vertical chopping. I readily admit I'm a noob however, so anyone with more experience is more than welcome to convince me otherwise. I have small hands for a guy if that helps.

tl;dr:
>need chisels
>tang/socket?
>medium price (160-220 for a set)
>small hands
>profit??
