Is this the sort of thing……I found this on Ebay UK but selling from America so I guess shipment would be cheaper.

Or as has been said aswell, in the US you might be able to find one second hand.
Paul probably used a 3/16″ chisel on these projects because he happened to have one handy that he likes. Otherwise I’m sure he could have made do with a 1/8″ or 1/4″ chisel.
BTW the widths of vintage chisels often fall between even eighths of an inch. The oldtimers would adjust the dimensions of their projects to suit their tools.
