That chisel is one heck of a beast. I know I have to refine my technique, but for chopping straight from the grinding wheel... DANG! And, don't sweat the poll business... it's nuttin but good...

In this disposable era to make a new life for an old tool is just the greatest. Your first attempt looks good too. To refine it a tad you can score the mortise lay out lines w/a knife and a chisel blade to cut in a bit of a shoulder before going for the mass of material to be removed. Also I pre drill out the bulk of the mortise and use my mortising chisel to clean up the waste in that socket much like a dedicated mortise machine. I am sure you already knew this and I know this was the maiden run but hey I get paid by the word. They don't make em like thet use to. BETTER THAN NEW! Warren p.s. Sorry to hog your poll this week. I am spoiled and I know it. Always more than one way to skin a nanner. (No Cats were harmed!) Ha! B. H. Hi Tom:
