Good starting point but temporary and will need to buy other products in the future

I bought this set to easily roll clay, cut with cookie cutters/clay cutters and then make runes out of shapes. So if I carve a rune, clay will sit on it, and a greasy stain will grow on it from that clay. Now that I've used it, the backing on the acrylic panel is peeling off. Also, the acrylic sheets were surprisingly small, I had to measure what 10cm x 10cm actually looks like because it's SMALL. It's about 4 inches x 4 inches (4" x 4") for those in the US like me. Using boards with casters can be a little tricky as everything slides and slides across my table. As I said, mine falls off within a few months of use (rather than daily use, more like a full cumulative 24 hours over several months). All in all, I'd recommend starting by figuring out how you use your tools and what kind of tools you like. Metal carving tools are what I really needed as my previously purchased plastic tools were just terrible. However, the plastic tools in this set have a noticeable seam from the mold of the tool, and that characterizes my work, which I hate. I personally will have to buy a better acrylic sheet and wouldn't buy this set for myself. But if you're just starting out and are comfortable with your craft, this could be a good place to start.

Pros
  • Kraft
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
