G S Haydon Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 You have no idea how much I love the term "G", Eric :). I'm the least "G" person I know, which makes it all the sweeter! On the convex Lie-Nielsen have a vid Odate mentions it as a way to support a brittle edge, the drawing in his book is very similar to the method LN shows. It could be said the single or slightly convex bevel is stronger http://www.amgron.clara.net/page74.html and any hand sharpened, single bevel with have some degree of convex shape, it's just a case of not rounding over. Long winded but further reading (if you have nothing better to do) http://www.owdman.co.uk/howto/howto.htm I think all of Sellers' videos show the method. I think Derek Cohen uses it on his mortise chisels. Like anything, you find what works well. If you get clean surfaces, that's all you need to know.

I don't have trouble jigging up my fishtail and I don't use a corner chisel, so I guess I've never encountered the need. But Deneb's the man...so I'll take his word for it. Thanks G.

It won't take me long, so don't worry about wasting my time. If you PM me, I'll give you my mailing address. I might actually take you up on this. PM sent.

justforfun Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Just got back. I was talking a convex edge the whole width. Defiantly rounded and deftly had to be done on purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
