In my collection of tools I have a couple of boxes which contain in 
total about 70 or 80 octagonal boxwood handled chisels/gouges.
It would be interesting to make a chart...
Maybe with  a picture of a chisel on the top of the page with dimensions 
marked..a,b,c,d,e...
I'm not all that flash with software, but I should be able to remember 
how to use excel to set it up to total the columns and average it out 
automatically.
Set me up with the criteria, and I'll fill in my sizes. I can add any 
other contributions, and I'll upload it on my website.
Cheers,
