choice of chisels for new users

[Ken S]

I understand the thrift aspect of using "cheap chisels" to start learning how to sharpen. With that, I would include a strong recommendation to include one premium chisel, a Lie-Nielsen or a Veritas, in the 1/2" to 3/4" width range.
This will allow you to to determine if sharpening a problem chisel is due to sharpening problems or chisel problems.
