    Thanks Stewie, part of the reason was what Matt posted about the Smiths and Stan. While nice to have I don't need more chisels but they sure are pretty.

    You all have pushed me over the edge. I do more paring than chopping, so started with a few push chisels...6, 12, and 24mm.

    Thanks Ken. This is going to be a very slippery slope, isn’t it.

    Phil,

    LOL. You really don't know how slippery. To paraphrase Fabulous Frank of the Furry Freak Brothers, "Chisels will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no chisels". At least he said something like that but maybe not about chisels.

    Ok Ken. Now I've just GOT to go down to the comic book store and buy some of those comics, just to read more about The Furry Freak Brothers. I can tell already that this will be interesting.

    Fabulous Frank. I'm gonna smile all day!

    Fred,

    Those were the days, my friend. I find myself remembering things from 50 years ago with ease but where I left my hearing aid, glasses or keys 50 minutes ago not so much.

    Interesting. How/where does one go about purchasing chisels from Mr. Covington? I googled around, but didn't find much.

    I purchased my first Japanese chisel, a Matsumura white steel one, this year, and love it.

    Brian,

    Pretty much the reason for the thread. Things can be easily lost.

    Brian, I watched your video on sharpening last night. This is going to lead to a dark hole of stones, I fear.
