I just got the Makers stamp that you see below from Mazzaglia Tools. As you can see it does a great job on end grain. I understand that you use these things to mark the tools you make and that is...

I roughed out a rectangular blank first, then I drilled a hole the full length of the tang and then used some bench chisels to square up the mortice until the tang fit all the way in. I used my #4...

Here is a new handle I put on my oval bolstered mortice chisel. I realize that I shaped the handle differently than it normally is done but I like the feel and look and well it's my chisel :-)

Robert,

So I bought a Disston #2 saw vise on ebay and it cleaned up pretty nice after the citric acid bath. Soon as I tightened it up on my bench and sharpened half of my panel saw the lower section...

Justin,
