I must be missing something but.....
I bought the LN honing guide to help keep my pig stickers square. No joy, the guide mortise jaws are 12mm from the guide to the top lip on the mortise jaw and the pig stickers are 15mm to 18mm in the area where the guide needs to clamp. Doesn't matter how you hold your tongue best I can tell it ain't gonna work. I love my pig stickers but maybe I should try one of the LN mortise chisels, they look very pretty and I like Hornbeam handles on chisels.
Well, I had LN send a couple or three of their mortise chisels out to the desert Southwest and best I can tell the 1/2" one doesn't fit the guide either. Here is a photo of the guide, you may be able to see that from the step on the bottom of the guide to the top lip is 12mm, the LN chisel is very close to 13mm. I know us guys in the metric world have a hard time with imperial measurement but....Last time I checked 13mm is greater than 12mm. Like I said, I must be missing something and once I find what it is I guess I'll have another "never mind" moment.
What am I missing?
