I would like to know if you use other sets of chisels when you're working hard wood?

thanks!

Joe - That's a very good question and I do appreciate the point. The best thing I can think of is to play the video full screen, pause it where you want and print a 'screen shot'. Here's a website that tells you how to do this for most computers: http://www.take-a-screenshot.org/
