Timmy Charles Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'm building a workbench for my handtool work. I have to chop out some mortises. I decided to craft this mortising chisel to work with. Included are before finish and finished pictures. Started with 3/4" square stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eseemann Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 That is very cool, "I need a tool, so I make one". Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Pigstickers they are called by the oldtools woodworkers. You might want to consider forging a bolster where the tang enters the handle. Mortise chisels take a pounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
