    Caleb,
    You are more likely to break the handle of the chisel than bend the steel. I have both beveled and square framing chisels and each perform well. I have never worried about damaging either...

    Have you been to Historic Richmond Town in Staten Island? You would probably really enjoy it.

    Before kids, I used to model in HO scale. It's all in boxes now, to be resurrected when they are older. The diorama sits on a shelf, unfinished.
