Prototype 18th c style firming chisels shipping



I've been working on making chisels for close to 9 months now. I've finally made up a number of sets for review. As comments come back, I'll make some final tweaks. If the reviewers simply don't care for these, this product will likely die on the vine. But if everything works out as I expect, I should be able to offer 18th c style firming chisels with features and sizes that make sense for the work we do. These won't be clones of other chisels on the market. They are a new look at what chisels are for, what features they should have, what matters and what doesn't. My hope is that they offer serious woodworkers a new perspective on the oldest woodworking tool.
