Dovetail chisels DIY (skewed, fishtail and left, right dovetail versions) blog #6: Upgrade of the set

Oh man, what a fine set! How are you doing these days? It’s been quite some time :)

Wow! You have been busy Mads. Nice handles. Can’t wait to see the dovetails to go with them. :-)

they look so good ya wanna start using them right away…it even made me want to make my own leather roll up….spring time is in the air…well its here…time to keep the door open…and let the warm air in…....time to get back to the shop, its been over a month,,so seeing the new tools come to life makes me excited and time for the dust to fly…and some fine chips from my sharp chisels…

Now that wasn’t too hard was it, admitting you are a “tool nut” : ))
These are fabulous Mads, but then thats what we have come to expect.
Trying to figure how I could use them in my turning ?? : )

Nicely done Mafe. Admitting it is the first step…

I would love just to hold them. They look beautiful and should be comfortable to work with.

you said it a long time ago Mads, and we’re glad you did. Another “well done” for you young man.

Love the chisels Mads. If you ever start a business I’d be first on your list.

If you would ever like to sell some of those handles let us know. I love the finish.

looks like the only new item here is the tool roll
nice on the grinding of the chisels

I love the chisels Mads, and those handles are superb. I know how well that shape fits the hand from a couple of old screw drivers I have with a similar shape, plus they are beautiful too. There isn’t much that is closer to a woodworker’s heart than fine tools, and chisels are among the most used hand tools. so these really hit the mark.

Looks like the chisel handles would feel good in the hand, I missed what kind of wood they are. These will definately come in handy creating some nice joinery in the future, great addition to your tool problem…I mean shop.:-)

Hey Mads,

Question: Do you feel you have the tendancy to move from woodworking to renovation? Just kidding! Nice job on the handles, as usual. They look great and very comfortable.

Best,

Serge

Hi guys,
Thank you for the words, I have a big smile here.
These days I build a wall in steel and plaster board and then a wall of closets from IKEA…
So yes I need some wood!!!
The handles shape is made for a good grip when paring and yes they are a perfect fit for the hand so I am really pleased.
The wood… Some recycle from a old parasol (no idea, but hard wood), and mahogany for the saw.
Better say it again: I admit I am a tool nerd. I am, I am, I am.
Spring is here so I almost starts singing Grizz, I also fight to get ready to move in with my beloved so this makes me sing… But I guess the poems will be for her.
Soda I am fine, so fine, I feel happy all the way to the inside of my bones, dont remember when I had this peace in mind before, it’s a gift.
Big smile here.
The best of my thoughts,
Mads
