Thread: Osage Orange and Birds Eye Maple Carving Mallet
Post: RE: Osage Orange and Birds Eye Maple Carving Malle...
Nice looking mallet, Dom. Osage Orange is a great choice. It's dense, hard and very stable. Should last a long time. I like the grooves in the handle. They should provide a bit more grip in use.

As Bandit notes, there are portable sharpeners specially made for carpenter's pencils. You can find them at most big box hardware stores.

Thread: Mortise Chisels getting a new home?
Post: RE: Mortise Chisels getting a new home?
Bandit,
I like your box builds. Just curious, though. How many boxes have you built so for for tool storage? Seems like you're always busy building boxes. |

I have to agree with Derek on the urethane mallets. One other thing about them is that because they absorb a lot of the energy during impact, they also provide precious little feedback. You really w... |

Thread: Older Sandvik scraper. Can't raise a burr
Post: RE: Older Sandvik scraper. Can't raise a burr
Eric, I think what might help is to use a file to joint the edge first, then use your stones to polish the edge before trying to turn a burr again. Repeated burnishing to turn a burr could have cause... |

Are you only going to use the chisels for paring or for chopping as well? For paring, a 25 deg bevel with a 30 deg secondary bevel is probably too high to be an effective paring chisel. If you're go... |
