The wife sent me out for a gallon of milk, so I went to Aldi hoping they might have set out the chisels a day early. And they did!
They had 2 displays w/ 4 sets each – a total of 8 sets. Might be an indicator of what will be available at your local sore.

Paul himself has one of these on his bench is some older (2014? 2015?) videos. The mortise is a bit complicated, but worth it. These stops are rock solid and a good alternative to dogs if you’re just using them for planing.
I also have dog holes on the other end of my bench that are located near the rear set of legs. I use holdfasts with these, and they’re great for holding while chopping big mortises.

Most have boards from 1″ to 12″ width and you can get at least 6 ft – 8 ft lengths. Not sure what kind of projects you’re working on, but that range will cover about 90% of it.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for better wood, visit a hardwood dealer. They typically have everything under the sun and can plane everything for you if you don’t have the tools.
