    Why can't I flatten the back of my mortice chisel?

    The cause is your abrasive isn’t lying flat and the curve up at the edges is causing what you see. 3m repositionable spray glue is decent- but you don’t need to obsess on the finish. The question you haven’t answered is does the chisel cut a good clean mortice. The time spent practicing...

    Cutting 4mm mild steel with jigsaw

    I like the diamond slitting discs for metal, cut quickly with little heat build up and much less likely to fracture. Don’t use normal slitting discs anymore. Jigsaw would also be fine, given the up and down motion, clamping it to something solid - e.g with the cut line overhanging a bench edge...

    Blades for a couple of old No4 hand planes?

    Increase your sharpening angle with a microbevel until the edge lasts. If it’s at 27 degrees that’s pretty low. Also polish the edge and the back. Each groove from rough grit acts as a stress concentrator increasing the likelihood of chips. Up the angle, up the polish level and you’ll see it...

    How would I make these tungsten carbide tools?

    You’ll struggle to bend tungsten carbide, it’s very brittle. If they are just used on clay I’d have thought titanium would be the posh choice as it is both light, tough and corrosion proof Edit to add: With the help of Google I found what it looks like. To me it looks to be milled from solid...

    Jokes aside - may be worth checking it’s not been done fraudulently as a way to try and get money from any life insurance or pension she may hold Couple of fake docs to then get real government ones issued could work

    Not really as you want the scratches to run parallel to the rod towards the tip, grinding on the side won’t let you do that

    Floats

    Great project, watching with interest. Imagine you have it covered already but if I can help with Heat treatment let me know. Will be worth a stress relief anneal before going to hardening and with each tooth acting like a stress riser the quench won’t be without risk!
