There are people who think every carpentering problem can be solved with chisel and the only book they ever red is one that says how to solve every problem with a chisel. The response to this is not to throw out all chisels. The response is to learn to use various tools and once you know how to do this, how to apply different tools to different types of problems. There is no shame in overusing a tool for a period of time. The novice carpenter must be able to play to learn limitations of tools but also to learn which inventive ways to use tools are actually helpful. Master carpenter will understand that playtime is necessary step in getting to mastery and will not call out novices for their overuse of the chisel but instead will encourage play with the intent to speed up education.
