Need a chisel made - bandit571 - 03-08-2017
Shop made Goose neck chisel?
Found an old Drum Brake adjuster....and a screwdriver handle...hmmmm..spend a while at the grinder, and beltsander.....
Refine the one end into a chisel edge....curved, of course. Regrind the other curved end into a tang for the handle to fit onto.
Had to "adjust" the handle a bit, for a better fit....results?

No... I did NOT burn the steel. It is a shadow. Rotate..

On the outside of the curve is the beveled edge( a Bevel Down tool
)[attachment=1585]
So, now I can reach into a mortise, and clean the bottom out of all the chips down there. I had the narrow this down to 1/4" so I could use it in more than one size mortise.
Not too hateful? Price was right...

Idea was a result of watching Paul Sellers transform a "Bottle opener"( Church key) into a mortise clean out tool. I really need the bottle opener for my beer, I no longer need a drum brake adjuster. And this was easier to add a handle to. Price was right, as well.
