Dragonboy Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Hey guys and gals- I'm visiting my father for the Christmas and New Year's break, I work at a college as a cook, and he has ask that when I get home maybe I could make him some gouges and chisels. Material wise I am good, I was simply wondering if anyone might have a reference point for the different shapes I should provide for a basic set of chisels and gouges Perfreable in illustration or pictoral form. So if anyone does, please post it for me. thanks always, Joshua Langfitt Quote
rstegman Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Do a search for wood chisel. There are a lot of manufacturers and sellers that will show profiles and sizes of their chisels. There is the question of what type of woodworking he is doing. A furniture maker will use different chisels than a figure carver or a decorative carver. Also a wood turner, which I assume he is not, will use completely different kinds of chisels. Google or your favorite search engine will give you links to see what is already out there and how they look. Good Luck Quote
