Hello all,
I'll be building a series of small drawers for a tool chest over the next several months. I ordered a Japanese dovetail chisel from a favorite vendor and got a lemon--the chisel profile was noticeably asymmetrical, with one side 52 degrees and the other 60 degrees! It happens and a return will be no problem.
I'm considering modifying a Japanese bench chisel that I have rather than ordering a replacement. Anyone have experience filing/sanding the sides of a Japanese chisel? And then refinishing? I recall a recent thread on this subject, but I couldn't find the thread.
Thanks,
Chris
