Sounds like you've got things well under control, Maurice; but I don't see "plethora" yet, you'll need to buy a lot more and a lot more variety of types before reaching that stage. Sorry.

OH! ..no no....what I meant was more along the lines of I have trouble parting with them. Even putting them up for sale at all. They're all different enough that I like having them, but it seems like 95% of them are 1/2, 3/4 or 1", sizes I really don't need more of.

Same here, most of the time the chisel is of more use to me than the money someone would pay for it.OH! ..no no....what I meant was more along the lines of I have trouble parting with them. Even putting them up for sale at all. They're all different enough that I like having them
One time I sold a Stanley 1" 750. It got me all of $15. If the chisel was still here it would have likely been fixed up and used occasionally even though there are a few other 1" chisels in the shop.

I guess I'm a hoarder. Preparing to move, I just packed a 16 x 13 x 13 box full to the brim of chisels, and then found more.
Hi, my name is Maurice, and I have a tool problem!

Hi Maurice!
My name is Steve, send me your tools, it's no problem! ;-)
Oh, yeah, boxes of chisels and yet I continue to buy more, albeit only 1 or 6 at a time. Here's my latest, 24mm kiku-jirushi dragon:
You know.... Chisels are really like clamps: one can never have enough!

Don't worry Todd. They make bigger boxes for these special problems. DAMHIKT. .
Yep. Although, I found my wife's wine bottle used cork stash while packing the other day, so the chisels are getting a bigger box and her corks will get this box.
