This is an episode in a free series. Want to watch it? It is free to do so, you just need to log into the site, and you can enjoy this video and many other videos we think you will love.
In this episode Paul marks out and cuts the very fine mortices and tenon for the glazing bars. There is more to come on fitting the glazing bars together and finishing the frame.
Nice one Paul and team.
Got a few 1/8″Chisels
May be my next project .
now to search ebay for a 1/8 firmer chisel 0r 3mm which ever comes first boy oh boy i hope my eye sight can deal with these small mortices i’ll be like Mr magoo doing these little joints time to put windows in my shed i think artificial light just isnt cutting it .
I bought a 1/8 firmer chisel a month ago at a garage sale for 25 cents. I bought it thinking to myself I would never use it, but for a quarter, I’ll take it. Now I will use it.
This is a funny world.
Paul another great video, I also need to get a 1/8″ chisel now for my arsenal. This looks to be a fun project.
Steve
Everyone hold off on getting 1/8″ chisels on eBay. At least until I get mine. My wood for this project just arrived at the front door.
i wish i could get the heads up on tools for the next project looks like ebay is going to have a rush on 1/8 firmer chisels i wish i had a load of them lol
Love the accuracy
I found this cheapie 1/8″ chisel (yes I know, Irwin-Marples, but still…)

It looks like it already has a firmer chisel’s shape (no side bevels). I saw it on the Home Depot website for about 10 dollars USD with free shipping-to-store.
Any thoughts?? Would you guys buy one? lol
I got the same one, I think, from Amazon. I figure it’ll get me through this project and for that alone, worth the small price. And it’ll probably do fine for those other rare times I need a 1/8 chisel. I haven’t used it yet. Finally got through part 1 yesterday and have the whole frame made and fitting together well. Cut up my glazing strips tonight and started planing them down to exact size. I’ll get to the mini mortises over the weekend.
This is the one that I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RFYZLI
I see it also has a link to acmetools for a cheaper price, but I got free prime shipping, so it was less than item + shipping from acme.
Juan, It’s a cheap chisel… I’ll probably look at that as well.. 🙂
Is the edge of the mortise damaged at 20:54 ? I’m not being critical I just wonder if it’s an optical illusion or perhaps I missed Paul mention it.
For those who were worried about the Sellers Effect on tool shortage, there has been time for these prized chisels to reappear! Paul, remember that bench before you patched it along side of your vise. Has it been that long? Seems like just a wee bit back.
