I just bought a nice group of tools found on craigslist. I got 4 Eric Anton Berg chisels from the late 1800’s to the mid 1940’s, an old rosewood Stanley#25 bevel guage, and an old rosewood Stanley#77 marking guage all for $20. When I got home, I went right out to the shop and sharpened up the chisels, and polished them up a little. Wow do they hold an edge nicely! I chopped up some white oak dovetails to see how they would hold up to the abuse. These chisels didn’t even show any signs of wear like my marples chisels did after the same routine. I guess they really knew how to make chisels in Sweden back in the day. -- Julian, Park Forest, IL |
