A friend of mine gave me a box of chisels because he knew I just got a lathe.

Said they were his father-in-laws and he knew his fil had a lathe but knew nothing about these chisels. My friend had sold the lathe years ago and these tools had been in his basement 20-30 years hence the rust.

So I went and picked up the box and hadn't looked till I got home.

I'm pretty sure the chisels to the right of my failed walnut handle are lathe tools. To the left I'm thinking I have carving chisels.

In the third picture, is that a bedan?

In the first picture I'm not sure because of the base but the bevel is on the right side compared to all the other gouges on the left side the bevels are on the wrong side.

If nothing else I might get some use out of the big roughing gouges and that skew chisel along with the calipers after some refurbishment.

Also, how do you tell whether they are regular carbon or hss?

Thanks sorry for the long post.
