    Lie Nielsen Socket Chisels

    Thread Starter: James Jayko

    Hey all, I've spent a small fortune on Lie Nielsen socket chisels. While they're great as chisels, the fact that the handle constantly fall out drive me absolutely crazy, especially given the price. A. Is there a way to secure these handles and not ruin the chisels?

    Want to be an author at Sawmill Creek?

    Now you have a new area to publish articles!

    If you want to publish an article, you can join our authors group, which gives you access to a forum which is open only to would-be authors at SawmillCreek. This is a staging area for new articles, where you can post a new article, and we'll review for publication. Once you're ready to publish it, we'll promote it on the front page of SawmillCreek!


    The process is simple:

    1. Join the Authors group by visiting this page.

    TIPS

    If your article is too long for a single post, don't fret ! Spread your article over multiple posts, and we'll merge them together into a single post when the article is ready to be published.

    Try posting pictures inline for visual interest.

    Choose a catchy, yet descriptive title!
