Well, by golly I guess you are really qualified then!

You idiots that won't move into modern society can continue to work in your caves with torches for light. I mortised hinge gains (wait, do you know-it-alls even know these terms?) with a chisel in 1970. How many of you had a tool belt then?

Where do you get off calling anyone posting on this thread an idiot? Who the hell is working in caves, not moving into modern society?

And who the hell called you a Neanderthal, if that's why your panties are in a bunch.

It was you, carpenter, who referred to chisels as tools a Neanderthal would use. Tell that to a few friends of mine who are master craftsmen making museum quality replicas of Windsor chairs, for example - do you know what a Windsor chair is?

A couple years ago I paid two of these friends to tear out a window and install French doors in a bedroom. Neither of them are finish carpenters, they're master cabinet and furniture makers. They knocked out the job in no time without a hitch.

So, get off your high horse and knock off the You're idiots! bullshyte. That's Neanderthal behavior, whether you know how to use a chisel or not. OK Zzzzeke?

Oh yea, BTW, I'm a Neanderthal with power tools, have next to no experience using wood chisels, unless you count carving realistic duck decoys out of wood, but I designed and produced working drawings for custom, high end broadcast studio furniture for 23 years and know more than a little about wood craftsmanship, even though I don't practice it myself.

And I'll tell you, we'd sub out work when our cabinet shop was backed up, but never to finish carpenters, no matter how many doors they may have hung.

Sheesh
