My first hand tool experience

While researching chisels earlier in the week,I came across an image that took me back to my childhood. My dad didn’t do much woodworking when I was little, but he had enough tools to take care of odd jobs around the house. Among his assortment of tools was a 4 piece set of Craftsman chisels. I use the term chisels loosely, because the handles were way to big, and they had horrible balance to boot.  When I happened across the photo below it brought a smile to my face, as I  flashed back to a time when I could barely get my hands around the handles, and would routinely pound them into a random 2×4 with a framing hammer. Before anyone asks; Yes I routinely got into trouble for misusing and misplacing my dads tools.
