Walnut chisel handle

looks awesome, I have an almost identical chisel blade, that for the longest time I wanted to make a handle for… I should really get to it, thanks for sharing and reminding me that it can look THAT good!

Questions –
1. where is the leather shock absorber?
2. what did you use for the hole to mount the blade into the handle? just a regular round drill bit and some push force on the blade?

Thanks!

Always nice to be able to make your own handles for your tools. Nice job.

It’s a bit noticeable at the picture, between the chisel steel and the bronze ferrule. I used diferent bits trying to create a camber with the same tapered shape (3rd pic). The chisel fits in the handle with good preassure, enough to don’t crack the wood.
Barry, I don’t remember how much I paid for this, but i never spend more of 10 bucks.

Wow, that is some pretty nice work. Must of had a very controlled hand for the block plane work – looks good!
