I was thinking about this topic, and of course, we all use a few hand tools, but how many? I use wood chisels...and...and...and...hammers, and dead blow hammers...and...and...and...screwdrivers...and.....
See where I am going? I stumbled across a block plane the other day, and remembered that there are probably a bunch of hand plane styles I couldn't even tell apart....I don't own a handsaw of any kind...not even one of the Japanese saws that are used for dovetails....so what about everyone else? Seems like power tools rule my world.
I do have a measuring wheel for wagon wheel rims that I don't think will have much use in the future!
