I have started to think there are far too many folks with too much money and not enough sense on fleaBay. Just saw a chisel I bid on go for over a $125, and it was a beat up piece of bent of unknown maker.....my bid? $15(think the shipping was going at $12-ish) OK then....I give up!
Has anyone here made their own chisel(s)?
I have to make an order for some knife steel(1084) next week, and I guess I can order a few 'sticks' of something thicker....I usually get 20ft of 1/8T x 1-1/4W x 4ftL(or 5-sticks). I was wanting to get a few different chisel sizes. In no order, I was wanting a 1-1/2", 1", 1-3/4", and maybe a 'slick' of at least 3"(was thinking I would get some 1/4"T for the 1" and 3/8"T for the other sizes)
My question: Will 1084 steel that is heat treated properly(my knives are typically 58-60RC) be good enough for timber framing duties?
Scott (yes, I have grinders and such) B
