Simple wood-chisel question.
 
What is the correct response when you find that your wife has been using a
1/4" wood chisel to pry open paint cans?

Bonus question: She asked me why the tip had the little plastic cover.

You are talking about your ex-wife...right?

To answer the question I need more information:

How did she get the key to the shop?
Was the plastic tip lost?
Did the chisel end up with paint on it?
Was the chisel put back in the proper spot?

Simple Green removes blood from chisels as well as pitch from saw blades.

Before you do anything, you are going to need to talk to a lawyer.
Maybe he can keep you out of prison.

On the other hand, you could just go and wash engine parts in her best
cooking pot. But tell her to contact a lawyer first. Maybe he can
keep her out of prison.

You buy her a couple paint can openers and store them openly.

I don't really do a lot of woodworking. Thus I have no "shop". The chisel
was in the toolbox. I had bought it to trim a 2x4 in order to install an
electrical receptacle.

I am thinking of taking up woodworking when I retire. Do you really need a
shop, of just a corner in the basement?


Was the plastic tip lost?


No. I used a dremel to put a straight edge back onto the chisel, warned my
wife about sharp it was, and introduced her to the special paint can opener
tool, also in the tool box.


Did the chisel end up with paint on it?


No. She was using a proper paint stick to stir the paint.


Was the chisel put back in the proper spot?


No, I caught her blue-handed.

Show here the proper tool. Buy a paint can opener. Lowes gives these
away, free. Screwdrivers or chisels can damage the rim seal. If she
still doesn't get it, lock up your chisels.

Hand her a lie-nielson catalog and advise her that no special occasion for a
purchase is necessary. In fact, next tuesday would be special enough.

I'd consider it karma that has come knocking a little early. I was a
bit of a rascal when it came to horsing around with my dad's tools,
and my son's too young yet to be getting into that kind of trouble.
I'm planning on putting a deadbolt or two and an alarm system on the
workshop when he's old enough to get into trouble.

That said, if it was irreparably damaged, I'd go to Lowes and spend $7
on another one. :-)

I think the correct response would be, "That's a nice "paint can opener"
you now own." Followed by the question, "Where's your checkbook?"

You need to make her a list of tools and their usages. Include little
drawings if you're inclined. As for the list, just wait a couple weeks
and someone will post it. Some will laugh, others will roll their eyes
AGAIN.

:-)

Wait, get it from LROD's site so you have the first 5 paragraphs.

This clearly depends on what she looks like in comparison to what YOU
look like... If she is well above your league just simply let her
have that chisel as her private paint can opener.

Memory just hit me. Isn't it Tage Frid that opens paint cans with
chisels, uses them as screwdrivers, etc., and then re-sharpens them when
he needs to use one? My type of guy.

Time to use your imagination. Grab what she considers
a good skirt and clean your tool with it. Then complain that
it doesn't absorb enough.

Not that I've done that.

You need a shop. A shop isn't just for woodworking. I have a regular poker
game in mine.
