Chisel Making |
Each chisel is handcrafted. Turned by hand on a 150 year old lathe. The rock hard blades are cut and ground to shape from 0-1 steel. Then further flame treated for strength. Ferrules are turned from bronze stock, and will be the thickest, heaviest, you will find on a chisel. Approximately 1/8" wall thickness. They are then assembled, polished and lacquered. Sharpening is done with up to a 1200 water stone. Additional honing should be done after purchase, with at least the same grit or higher. |
