In the process of talking to him, I realized that he was the author of the greatest chisel review I&#8217;ve ever read.  In fact, it was the article that had the greatest impact on me when I wrote <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danshapiro.com\/blog\/archives\/000055chisel_shopping.html\">this piece<\/a> about chisel shopping.  It&#8217;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.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.danshapiro.com\/blog\/archives\/chisel_review_David_Wright.pdf\">Click here<\/a> to read David Wright&#8217;s excellent wrapup of high-end chisels (it&#8217;s a 43k PDF).<br \/>\nAs a postscript, Dave notes:<br \/>\n<i>&#8220;It might be worth noting that opinions formed when writing that article have generally been proven true over extended use as well.  I use all the chisels, but my &#8220;go to&#8221; ones are the Two Cherries, Stanley 750, and one that wasn&#8217;t in the review &#8211; Harris Tool.  The Sorby and Henry Taylor still dull quickly though it&#8217;s easy to put a nice edge on them.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the process of talking to Dave Wright, I realized that he was the author of the greatest chisel review I&#8217;ve ever read.
