      Robert Wilson. Learn to sharpen them to perfection, so sharp you can shave with them. You can get them much much sharper than when you buy them. This is the absolute most important feature of any chisel. I'd much rather have a properly sharpened $2 chisel than an improperly sharpened $100 chisel.

    I love how thorough your reviews are. I was wondering as I was watching though, how can you tell what the grit is on a stone that is unmarked and doesnt have it's original packaging to identify it? Is there a good way?

    • @rolls_8798
      @rolls_8798 2 года назад

      I know this is a pretty unsatisfying answer (especially for having waited 4 years for it) but I'd say it doesn't matter at all. You can judge how rough stones are relative to each other by touch and sight, start with a rougher stone just to see if it is removing material at the rate you want, and move up and down accordingly. Of course you won't have a scale, but after some experience with stones you'll be able to look at another one and associate it with a level of sharpness, besides the numbers are pretty arbitrary (to the user) anyway.
      so basically, you can't tell, there is no standardisation, and no reference, and that doesn't matter.

    Thank you for the excellent review. I was in the market for a new set of jobbing chisels when I stumbled upon your review. I was looking at the Irwin Marples soft grip chisel set with four chisels for just 29 pounds Sterling.
    Anyway, I'm in Scotland and I saw the chisels you reviewed - a set of six actually - for just 34 pounds. 6mm up to 32mm. Well, I did purchase a set of Knock off Narex chisels from Lidl for just £7 about four years ago, and, whilst they are a wee bit soft - like the Blue Stanleys - they take a good edge and are easy to sharpen onsite with sandpaper or a basic stone. I should add that I used them on a job where I had to chop out over 70 mahogany lock keeps and only had to hone them a couple of times.
    Up until our recent difficulties, I travelled to Japan once a year, and have always brought back a few items including saws and chisels. The saws I love, but the chisels and planes are a pain to hone, so I don't use them as much as my horny old English Stanley planes and European Chisels.
    Anyway, thank you for the insight into how they perform. Looked so good for the money - and I wouldn't be broken hearted if they were pinched on a job - that I went ahead and made the purchase.
    Much obliged!

We did not take oil from Afghanistan. So really you're just perpetuating horse manure.

      Irwin is much more available to most people. Also, chisels are more about tuning and sharpening rather than just getting the one that is the “best” or hardest. I heard these need the backs flattened. The best chisels are the ones that hold an edge reasonably which fitting well into your hands. Anyhow, my cheap Cambodian Tire chisels are absolutely excellent and great to use.

      @@MintStiles the buck bros took me forever to flatten the backs of too. all chisels need some flattening of the back. but a veritas is a few quick, literally damn near single digit strokes. marples really aren't so bad, i'm not sure why anyone who hate on them. especially if you get an older style when they were made in england. even the newer ones aren't so bad though. it's like a decent entry level chisel. then you can look at some woodrivers and what not, sweethearts, and then obviously veritas. maybe a bancho in between. problem with a norton india is that you're not going to get the finish you want to get. most norton's are upwards of a DMT diamond set. And if y ou're going to be flattening buck or marples, lol spend the money on a diamond stone set.

      DC Romo people hate on things because they can. Most modern tools may not be the quality of old, but they are sufficient. Tuning is more important than initial quality. While I am certainly not suggesting anyone buy cheap tools, but look anywhere on RUclips and you will see guys sharpening stamped knives into tomato shaving weapons :). There is a trade-off. But the elitists often have problems with just getting things started while the rest of us are already home having dinner.

      i like how you guy's are professional enough to berate this guy for being amateur and completely miss the point that this kit is for the average person that doesn't want to spend more than 20$ on any given item because they're going to use thum a handful of times.

    Tool kit is really coming together nicely. I have generally followed the adage that the most expensive tool to buy is a cheap one, soon needing replaced. But, as you are proving, there is a happy median between expensive and cheap tools. Perfectly suitable, quality tools that don't break the bank but still will get the job done and should give years of use. Thank you for making these videos Cody. Also for the info concerning trueing up a newly acquired tool, even brand new tools.

    Before doing any research I picked up one 3/4" Irwin chisels frankly because it was the cheapest one on the shelf. I didn't really appreciate the tool until I purchased another of a different junk garbage trash brand. The difference is unreal. Hats off to Irwin!

    Just bought these today at WoodCraft. The backs needed ground down; I used 400 grit wet sanding and it took about 15-20 minutes to line them up. I’ll mirror them with 1000 and 6000 later tonight. I look forward to learning how to dovetail with them.

    As someone who is just putting their toe in the wood workin pond. I have been curious in witch of the newer chisel sets where good. I see videos and it seems like everyone has the "my dad gave me" set or the "I got lucky at a flee market cause I know what I'm looking for" set. From someone who doesn't have ether and is self learning. This video series is awesome and a great help!

    Being a 40 year carpenter I have three sets of chisels. The old miss used set that was and still is used for anything, from whacking knots to concrete. Then my better set which is a Stanley set for general wood working. Like framing, rough finish work. Then I have a wood handle chisel set I bought from a old German carpenter. These chisels would produce 5 grand if I wanted to sell them. But I use them for fine finish and furniture work.

    I couldn't agree more about the quality of the boxes that tools (especially) come in. Look at nice machinists tools and the quality of the packaging they use. I've seen Starrett boxes that have seen heavy use survive for 50 years or more protecting their valuable contents. It's the little details that separate the quality tools from those of lesser quality, and these chisels look to be a good value. I look forward to seeing part 2 and how they turn out.

    These are the very same chisels I use. I bought the 4 pack of 1/4" to 1" without a mallet and paid $19.99. I have some vintage chisels and find these better. They are defiantly better then any chisel I have ever bought. Out of the package they were sharper then any chisel I already have. (that includes just after a fresh sharpening) They sharpen easy and I would highly recommend.

    I have used the sharpening technique that Mr W has shown and I must say that it works beautifully. To do it cheap and accurately just buy 1 marble tile and put a sheet of wet/dry sandpaper on it. Then use the strop as suggested.

    I am so jealous. My stanley chisel set didnt come with a nice mallet like that. It did come with a nice leather wrap. Excited to see the finished common man toolbox! Great little tool kit for a entry level wood worker like myself.

  • @williammanning3174
    @williammanning3174 5 лет назад

    Hey man. Oil is okay for manufactured sharpening stones. When using a natural "whet" sharpening stone, I highly recommend using ONLY saliva. If you use oil or even water on a natural sharpening stone you're going to eventually polish the surface of the stone. A sharpening stone with a polished surface can't sharpen anything. I use only saliva on natural sharpening stones because saliva is slightly acidic. That slight acidity keeps the surface of a natural sharpening stone "etched". You could also use white vinegar but that might corrode the surface or your tool unless you clean the tool immediately. Use saliva while sharpening and clean the natural stone with white vinegar afterwards. I hope this helps!! Brothers and Sisters...be well!!

    Watched this video yesterday, and flattened the back of some chisels for the first time today. Just never occurred to me to do that. Sharpened two a little bit ago, and they'll both take hair off of my arm now. Can hardly wait to try them out! Thanks for the tip!

    I have a set of these, some Stanley's and a number of antique chisels bought at flea markets, garage/estate sales and antique marts. Most clean up well and get lots of use. The Marple's are good for GP use although the mallet is way light for most use. I just use two handmade ones. What is missing are a couple of good mortising chisels. I have a 1/4" and 1/2" and they handle my mortising needs well. As far as sharpening, I chose a Trend 300/600 grit Diamond Credit Card. 300 seems to work super well on the HSS tools like chisels and lathe tools and the 600 for the carbide lathes tools, router bits and saw blades.

    I just picked up a very similar Irwin Marples set (without the mallet) and honestly I am quite pleased for the price. These aren't heirloom quality or anything but for the price they are made quite well, finished nice enough for a tool, and are ground very cleanly. They didn't come razor sharp out of the box but 2 minutes per chisel on my stone and they will push cut telephone paper. Tested them out today and they held an edge admirably long and were brought back to razor sharp with a couple strops.
    I'm sure there are better quality chisels out there but for a guy just looking for a decently made, reliable set of chisels that doesn't want to drop $50 per chisel, these are a great option.
