Derek, thank you. And thank you too for giving me brand names; this helps in knowing what works. Today I spent a little time on Amazon looking at chisels. Surprisingly, after watching Paul’s video on sharpening chisels, when I looked at the close-up pictures of some of the various ones offered through Amazon, I could tell (in a couple of cases anyway) which brands were better than others – just from the photographs. I saw rounded front edges, nicked edges, and so on. I know that every chisel needs a little help to begin with but it told me something about the craftsmanship of the companies producing these tools. But I would have had no idea without having that little bit of information I got from the video. Thank you again, Derek. Your comment really helps.
