Thanks Brianj,
I’ll see what my local supplier has in terms of this combination.

Thanks for your reply.
By durable I meant that the finish wouldn’t need topping up.
For example I’ve read that boiled linseed oil finishes needs to be touched up as it yellows over time, which was/is one of the finishes I was thinking of using, hence my question.

Thanks for your reply and yes it’s 7 wide and 1 thick.
That’s a strong endorsement/proof of the original design, I’ll think about it again as it also gives me the opportunity/reason to do the poor man’s router.
Thanks,
Graham

I haven’t had time to try and film myself sharpening. In relation to getting the chisel back to square I’ve read that using a guide could help, either that or grinding them, but that’s not an option for me at the moment.
30 October 2016 at 7:22 pm #142038Hi folks,
Thanks for the replies.
@Hugo 7×1 here in Ireland would be the same as 1×7 in the USA.
@Brian & Wess moisture is an issue here, we’ve more rain than we know what to do with, but I was more sort of worried that she would catch the pins on something when in the garden and snap them when the tote was full.
@Matt that’s a nice beer tote, I was thinking of using dimilar reinforcement as you did for my project.I’m thinking of using M&Ts joint for joining the sides to the ends for the handle along with some reinforcement, and glueing and screwing the bottom on.
I’ll leave the dovetails for the cross rails of the pet bed she wants me to make when I get a chance.

Yep not using a guide as trying to follow the YouTube video.
I’ll give the camera a go and see if that helps and just drawing back for sharpening.
16 October 2016 at 6:18 pm #141473[quote quote=141468]several places its been mentioned that it does not have much impact if not too out of square. if it bothers you try to square it up and then future sharpenings you can try and reverse the angle (right to left, then left to right) the same number of strokes. Myself, I would just try and check progress and correct as you go at each sharpening opportunity.

Thanks for your reply.Personally when out of square, I’ve found it makes a difference when chopping a mortise as it affects the shoulder and makes the chisel want to twist, hence the question.
30 August 2016 at 6:48 pm #139795Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply I’ll discuss treatment with the supplier.
Nice bench BTW.
28 August 2016 at 6:22 pm #139745Thanks Philip,
Some of the supply will also be used to replace some of the dilapidated doors on some of the outbuildings, including my garage/workshop.
I was just wondering if anyone had tried using it for a finer furniture project, but most likely not from what your saying about the knots. Wood is very expensive over here for example Walnut typically goes for 120 euro per cubic foot so looking for something to work with that won’t break the bank.
Cheers,
Graham.
26 August 2016 at 4:33 pm #139712Hi folks,
Thanks for the advice and the link to the wood db.
Being in Ireland it will be European Larch that I can access. I’ll be using it for some outdoor furniture items, and perhaps a fake wishing well style watering system for the cats at the wife’s request.
When I get around to finishing I’ll post some pics.
21 August 2016 at 11:29 pm #139545Thanks for the replies folks, I’ll pick up a set during the week.
18 August 2016 at 8:53 pm #139484Thanks for the information.
I wouldn’t really expect them to be sharp, but if the edges are malformed that badly I’d return them too.
I might risk it and see if it’s just sharpening that’s needed on the set I get.
