The last two holes?

[woodbloke]

Having just received the last bits and pieces from CHT this morning, they're installed in the chisel rack on the 'Tool Wall':

...the very observant will notice that there are two gaps to fill, question is... what with? The stuff on the end is the pair of recently re-handled skews, the smaller ebony handled one is a 'fish tail' and the last handle is a burnisher. Not being of a collectory disposition :^o like some folk on the south coast :wink: I'm going to start going slightly doolally if I can't fill them, rack is too short for a pair of pairing chisels. Files are stored elsewhere, screwdrivers the same, gouges and rasps are in a tool roll under the bench.
So...what would you put in the holes?

Hi,
How about a couple of good old pig-stickers or http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Axmi ... -21698.htm
or http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Crow ... -19720.htm or a couple of these they are very handy http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp? ... e=1&jump=0

Rob,

Two paring slicks, approx. 12-14" length, your choice of widths, depending on whether to be used to pare the dovetail scribe line, or for more general use . Couldn't resist, paring slicks are my favorite chisel.

I'd also like to take the opportunity to congratulate you on your latest excellent piece in Furniture and Cabinet Making (just arrived to my shore yesterday). Really beautiful and exacting workmanship--I'm keeping that article handy for reference, esp. on the hidden mitered dovetails.

I like your safety shield; very clever solution. Are there slots for the wider blades?

 

[MarcW]

Hm, that's not so easy, but I heard, LN will release soon two larger sizes, worth a wait? Meanwhile you could slip some marking knives in, a pair right and left maybe? What about a glue chisel and an awl?

Cheers

Rob,

There's clearly no other choice, it's just got to be something with a garish plastic handle

Cheers,

Dod

Yes Rob that blue one you stuck in the ground the other day, or have you modified it as a nail release :lol:

Good idea, but I can't fit them in as they would be too long .....Many thanks, glad you enjoyed the article.

I've always mounted chisels like this. I used to mount them without the acrylic guard and when I reached into the bench well to sort out another tool, in the process of raising my hand it came into contact with a chisel edge....several times

Bigger sizes from LN...interesting. I think tho' for me the 25mm is going to be wide enough. Marking knives are also stored on the 'Tool Wall' as is the awl (see pic, turned yew handle)

Pete - Blue Chip chisel won't fit the hole, too wide, not yet 'modified', tuit job for later :wink:

 

[Paul Chapman]

You could always put an end to all this agonising by cutting a couple of plugs and filling up the holes - cheaper too :lol:

Cheers :wink:

Rob, you could buy (or make!) a couple of these - or, indeed, any specialised chisel you can see a need for. A couple ground for dovetail applications, perhaps; or a custom swan-neck for smaller mortices?

A really good idea, may well make a very fine 1/16th dovetail chisel after a sort of mortice pattern - Rob

Leave them be as a timely and constant reminder to measure twice, cut once...

You don't have all the LN bevel edge chisels yet (there are 10).......

Hi Rob,

What is in my bench tray is a bottom cleaning chisel, a glue chisel and a scraper chisel. The first one helps in cleaning deep mortises, I use it each time for those hard to come out chips. The glue chisel has its place there, because I would grab a good one for that a chisel humiliating task. The third is a scraper chisel. It helps paring, chamfering and scraping in tight spots. It's a gem. Mine is a polished 16 mm Kirschen with an ashe handle.

Those are three chisels which might not be common, but which I always keep at hand's reach. Hope I could help better this time.

Cheers

10 I got 12 :wink:

Is just me who thinks, despite the undoubted quality, that the LN chisels are bloody ugly?

*waits for the chorus of 'yes-es'*

 

[Chris Knight]

Marc,
I like you scraper chisel, I think I will make one of those.

If possible, could you please take another picture of your bottom cleaning chisel from the side so we can see its profile?
