Morris Chair Project! #8: Morris chair tool gloat!

Smart move.

That thing’s a monster :-)

Awesome! These are great tools – something that is needed in every shop. Be careful – as you said, sharp!!!

-- I've never seen a tree that I wouldn't like to repurpose into a project. I love the smell of wood in the morning - it smells like victory.

just give the drill enough room to cut ,
and the chisel to ‘bend’ the corners into the cutters .
don’t ‘stuff’ it , take it slow .

good move !

what mortiser will that go into?

Edit: never mind I looked into it myself: Thanks for the tip…

Nice looking chisel. It’s a lot of wood so take it slow live Patron states.

I can see a lot of very sharp clean mortises being cut with that.. just take it slow and easy… have fun… be safe.

Congrats on the new toy. I have a 3/4, named her “Big Mama”

Now do yourself a big favor and sharpen her down to at least 2000 grit, you will see why on the first cut.

i have one that is 1” ,
i’ve only used it once ,
to attach legs into a table bottom .
but i have a floor model mortiser ,
not a bench top .

Like Dave said take it easy…

Nice!

With a chisel that big, you should attach a seat to the handle of your mortiser to get enough pressure! ;)
