While browsing through an old Marples catalogue I found this bit of wisdom. I'm sure you all don't do these things, don't you?

Thanks Kees, I’ll have to give that bow saw grip a try.

Thanks Kees,
All good rules but #5 and #6 bring a smile. I love my pre-WWII Marples.

My favorites were always the "Primitive Pete" series that we watched in shop class. I learned more about tools there than just about anywhere. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKM4qBESzrA

Nice video with Pete! However I wonder how it is supposed to use chisel bevel up for paring like here (https://youtu.be/fGkOOtd3GmY?t=1233) keeping it at an angle? Does anyone know or actually use that way?

Maybe we'll see "Lost Arts Press" reprint these posters! Great reminders of techniques!
Thanks for posting!

I love the fact that in a more sensible time "Watch the point" was considered adequate instruction.

Don't #7:
Don't put fingers or other body parts in front of the sharp end of a chisel during use.

This reminds me of those "Demotivational" posters on the interwebs...

In school shop class we had “Primitive Pete” movies. Pete was a doofus that would do all manner of stupid stuff, always used the wrong tool, and exposed himself to potential injury regularly. The mantra of the class was “don’t be a primitive Pete”. I took it to heart. I still have all my fingers!
