    Have Machinist Tools, Want Chisels

    Hello there. I love this forum. So much knowledge and good nature going around. Anyway, I'm somewhat new at this and starting down the slippery slope of hand tools. Being a machinist, I have a whole bunch of machinist tools that I would like to trade for some good user chisels to start out with. I'm looking for bench chisels and paring chisels. PM me with what you have and what you are looking for that I may have.

    Thanks,

    Frank

    Hi Frank,

    Have you considered making your own chisels?

    There are a group of people over at Wood Central that are using a special allow that is suposedly making great chisels.

    Bill Tinndale (sp) is one of the people that has written a lot about this.
