Back in 'the day', if you wanted a basic overview of a subject like woodworking, you might find yourself looking for a book titled something like this.
"Introduction to Woodworking"

I came home with a Rigid 4 gallon wet dry vac and the hope that my $70 purchase would be everything I wanted. What I wanted was a shop vac that was quiet, small, cheap and filtered fine dust.

In the process of talking to Dave Wright, I realized that he was the author of the greatest chisel review I've ever read. It's so good, in fact, that I wanted all my readers to have a gander at it too, so he gave me permission to reprint it here.
