Tom Cancelleri Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Do you find your mortise chisel to be THAT much better for cleaning up mortises? Not really. It's just beefier than my bench chisels. My bench chisels pare much better. I can't really complain about the results though, Also, you get my leverage with the mortise chisels since they are longer.

Brendon_t Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 That's kind of the consensus I have heard. I would like to get a few but can't quite push myself over the edge.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 That's kind of the consensus I have heard. I would like to get a few but can't quite push myself over the edge.. I bought a 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 Narex mortise chisels. I figured they'd be handy for the build. I couldn't justify buying the LN mortise chisels to match my LN bench chisels. Bench chisels are one thing, and unless you're really doing your mortises by hand, the Narex are more than enough, and at 13-18 bucks a piece, it's a really small investment when it comes to the shop.

Brendon_t Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'm definitely not a hand jammer.. it would strictly be for clean up work, which I keep coming back to, is better done with a sharp bench chisel...

bushwacked Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Narex seem like a great chisel for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Narex seem like a great chisel for the price They are nice. The handles I find too big for a bench chisel, but ok for a mortise chisel. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Nothing too much to report for today. Just cleaned up the shoulders for the tenons on top of the legs. Maybe I'm just a crazy perfectionist, but I check my tenon shoulders with a square and .0025 feeler gauge to find any gaps, then I mark any high spots with a pencil, and clean them up.

Tom Cancelleri Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Next up is nice long tenons. Then route the criss cross slot in the left front leg. Mill up and glue a chop for the leg vice. Gonna use 8/4 soft maple for the side closest to the bench, a piece of 4/4 curly maple for the outer facing side, then cherry laminated strips on each side Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
