What is incredible is that none of them fall down........

At least they all can be kept in one drawer. My drawers are too small for that.
Maybe we should have a show us your chisels thread.

Half the fun of collecting is knowing that there are still items that need to be acquired.there are chisels you don't have?
Collecting is dull when you have one or two of everything.

cranked handles. not all I have, just the ones I modified.
Guess my camera comes along next time out to the shop.
Okay, got out to the shop and gathered all the chisels on the bench for a photo op.

The small carving gouges and the bigger gouges are still in boxes. The one with the smaller gouges can be seen to the right of and below the lamp in the picture.
The bigger gouges are in a box to the left of the file cabinet. Some of the chisels are stowed their.

You guys are much more flush than I. I weeded quite a lot when I moved to the tool cabinet and after some nicer vintage ones came my way. Other than the recent paring chisel acquisition I posted about last week this is most everything. I'll probably weed out some of the mortise chisels to make some room at some point. A helpful Creeker got me some Japanese chisels recently, and I'm quite fond of them and see some more Japanese bench chisels in my future, and I've got some incannel gouges coming in the mail this week. I'd also like to pick up another one of the chisels from LMI, I like the long tiny one I have.
In all honesty, I probably use two of these for 90% of everything!

I have a few other beater laying around somewhere and a set of Woodriver chisels that I bought several years ago, but the ones in the pic are what I use.
Woodworking is terrific for keeping in shape, but it's also a deadly serious killing system...
