Thank you so much for the numerous articles and sharing your work with others. I'll be out in my wood shop (garage) this weekend trying to mimic some of the joinery I've seen.

They are reasonably priced - why not buy one chisel and try it out for a while and see first, before committing to a more substantial purchase?<br /><br />I would suggest that the fact they are white steel should not put you off. The edge retention qualities inherent in the metallurgical differences between white and blue steels is rather a moot point when it comes to chisels, and besides, the skill of the smith is most of what makes a chisel an excellent product, not the raw material. <br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-40902281078425760342011-12-26T17:17:01.595-05:002011-12-26T17:17:01.595-05:00Hi Dale,

It was relatively inexpensive, and has performed adequately over the years.<br /><br />Are you shopping for chisels right now?<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-8298853112249607622011-12-24T23:40:37.008-05:002011-12-24T23:40:37.008-05:00Tico,

It's not lab grade or anything like that, so it was relatively inexpensive, and comes in a case with a few other gauging blocks.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-77497899923055247022011-12-24T22:37:07.536-05:002011-12-24T22:37:07.536-05:00Hi Chris,
