Hirsch chisel tool review

>Jeremy,

I don't appreciate your remarks that I'm American-centric! I've lived in foreign lands including Tennessee (couldn't speak the language), and I have travelled extensively to Delaware (once- didn't like it) and I often go across the border to Pennsylvania. (its my understanding I no longer need my passport, which is great!)For your information, I speak Philadelphian fluently!

I was just trying to be funny with my "review", notice I used my silly pseudonym. I wanted to raise the issue of mixing metric and standard with a very popular chisel. Sorry if I got your hackles up.

I grant you that my sense of humor is a little obtuse.

Adam

P.S. Did you like my "american-centric"? Nice touch, eh?

>Some guys from Williamsburg were on the Woodwright a few years ago and said that one thing that defined the tools of the age they were representing (their planes being made by C&W ironically) was that planemaking was now a specialty and the tools being used by americans were being made in England fo the most part. Of course they used imperial measures, not the client state measures we see today, I imagine.

I don't really mind the client state measurement system but it doesn't seem to have added anything to life other than the requirement to have two sets of measurement tools, wrenches, and sometimes cutters. Wood is good because the material doesn't really care about the measurements.
