Thank you everyone, I have been creeping up to the shoulder in the past but using impacts to the chisel.
I have recently tried more arduous paring without any impacts to the chisel and it does work better, just extremely tedious if too much material is left.
The fret saw I’ve used is the Rob Cosman offering, I do have a Knew Concepts Coping saw and love it.
I may invest in the Knew Concepts Fret saw as well, it would be nice to have more depth capability.1 January 2018 at 4:34 pm #425498After sawing the bulk waste parallel to the knife line, I have been using the bevel away from the knife line on side A of the board, essentially paring the waste to the knife wall about half way down the wall. This works normally, as if I had chopped out the waste.
When I flip over to side B of the board, the left over waste (now unsupported) is where the difficulty arises.
I start paring/shooting small increments of waste (bevel away), and by the time I get to the knife line the torque has already started the breakage below. The resulting shoulder is still clean, crisp, and undamaged. It is about 1/16″-3/32″ below the shoulder where the breakage occurs the remaining way to the half way point where I would meet the side A stopping point.
Smoky Rick, I may try to do what you describe with a narrower chisel. Shoot to the sky, but at an angle from the edge of the waste.
I am located in Belvidere, also in the tundra we call the middle of Northern Illinois. Quite enjoyable weather lately, Brrrrrrrrrrrrr.It just came to me that I could probably shoot the to the sky with the saw on both sides and get closer to the shoulder, leaving a more controllable hump in the middle. Maybe I need to work on my fret sawing instead.
