erroneously claims:
You never "whack the Hell" out of chisels. snip

LMAO Maybe in your world. My chisels "are" sharp, by the way.
When I want delicate cuts, I use a light mallet, and tap, tap, tap,
letting "the tool do the work".

However, in my world, on those times when I need (or want) to take
a big chunk at one go, I use my biggest chisel, take my biggest,
heaviest, mallet, and "whack the Hell out of it". Works quite well.
Fun too. When my woodworking stops being fun, I'll stop woodworking.
