Optimize Your Woodworking Projects With a Chisel
A set of chisels should be in every carpenter’s arsenal. The video above demonstrates how and why to use them.
Like hand planers , chisels are used to remove wood when another tool is not enough. The narrow shape and sharp edge are ideal for carving grooves in wood for hinges or strikers, cutting grooves and grooves, and simply trimming small or large areas of wood.
Start with a set of three wood chisels, including 1/2, 3/4 and 1 inch chisels. This Stanley kit costs $ 10 on Amazon. And remember: Whenever you plan to use the chisel as a percussion tool, wear safety goggles.
