Is that a spear point? The blurb says its a #1 carving gouge and it's being used upside down in the pic to round over the edges of that gooseneck barnacle carving the lad be doin'. The spearpoint no doubt exists in the form I bought and in some other forms, including those for carving. There's...

I mostly use my skew chisels as do you - a pair of 6mm wide for the small and a pair of 12mm wide for the larger DTs. The spear-point is also 12mm wide with the same 45 degree angle so in theory should be able to do work that the pair of LH & RH 12mm wide skews do. If this is so, I'll sell the...

Greetings from me, Eshmiel, in West Wales, just joined today. I've had a woodrat for many years but used it only for dovetails and M&Ts. I recently dusted it off (following a house move) and set it up with a thought to try some other operations on it. I came to fancy one of their MB3 mitre jigs...
