>I have managed to get myself somewhat confused about chisel names. Mortise, sash mortise, heavy sash mortise, pigsticker (?), paring, registered, bench, slick, etc., etc., etc.

Is there a list of definitions to which I can refer when I get confused?

>I highly recommend getting a copy of R. A. Salamans' "Dictionary of Woodworking Tools."

This will answer tons of identification questions and I refer to it all the time.

>Oh, good idea! I have been putting off buying that book for ages - now you have given me a good excuse to go ahead and get it.

Thanks.
