*snip: Wacking the chisel*


Of course, when you lay aside the mallet and try to make a
hand-powered paring cut, that dull chisel is gonna look at you and
just grin.

Somewhere I got the impression that a good woodworking chisel was one
that could cut through the wood with no help from a hammer or mallet.
Perhaps that was one of those "happiness is..." moments?

Use a sharp chisel. ;-)

And a sharper wit. ;-)
