No power tools 
I have an okay knife, and a pin vice (drill) which is small enough for a minifigurine hobby, I think the smallest bit is < 1/18th inch, biggest can't be more than 2mm.
I do need a hand drill (or dremel) for other purposes, just haven't gotten around to getting one.

Any recommendations for a good set of chisels to work with?

This is easy, Just take a piece of bamboo, and use that as the bowl...
Picture it looking just like this, except made entirely out of bamboo, and without those horrible fake feathers...

Super easy to make, and they smoke really well. I'm going to write up a tek asap.

Not too sure man, I'm sort of just getting into them myself. I would just go for quality over quantity. One or two high end chisels are greater than 20 shitty ones. Nothing from big box stores, look for specialty wood shops.
anythin from Leevalley (not sure if they are outside Canada)
They have a comprehensive website to browse, the chisel sets they stock are all top notch, look for ones of similar quality/price.

Well...I got everything else but the Ace Hardware by me didn't have the right kind of knowledge.
I'm going to try without and post results.
