In the way of an unofficial poll, I’m curious how many chisels you all use in your regular woodworking? Different sizes? Different styles? Different preparations of the cutting angle?
CS says he could get by with one or two and just saw a suggestion of just needing a 1/2”. The “typical” book suggestion is a set of three or four common sizes. It seems that workers of centuries past might have had many chisels. I personally like Adam Cherubini’s suggestion of a few of the ‘bare’ sizes.
