As a wedding gift I am building my niece a 5 foot round dining table. I have never made a large round dining room table, and found some nice plans by Jon Peters on Youtube.

Mortised with my largest mortise chisel, a Narex 1/2 inch. I really need something longer and stronger to lever out the chips, but is the Ray Iles
really worth over $100?.
