I made this tiny mortise chisel

- Most mortise chisels are huge chunky pieces of steel associated with carpentry and heavy duty chopping. But sometimes, it is good to have a very small one - for example when making wooden planes.
In fact I needed a narrow but stiff chisel for a different project I was working on. So I took a cutoff of 1095 steel and a piece of ash from the fire wood pile and went for it. Since it is so small but still needs to be able to take some hammer blows, I decided to make a ferrule on both sides of the handle from a length of brass tubing that I had lying around.
In the end I am using the chisel to chop a mortise behind a piece of plexiglass. This demonstration is an imitation of a great video by @Paul.Sellers that you should watch, if you haven't yet.
But watch my video first!

You know what mate? You're inspirational. I never ever thought of making my own chisels, and I would like a set of mortising chisels, at least in a few sizes. Now I know I can do it myself. BTW, I love your humour. Have a great week ahead, LG
Thanks, I’m glad that someone noticed the Humor :) And yes, make your own chisels. It’s very rewarding!
I love your sense of humor
I've watched a lot of knife videos. This video taught me a bunch of stuff I didn't already know. THANKS
Одна и та же ошибка на нескольких работах: насаживает рабочую часть инструмента в слишком маленькое отверстие, деревянная ручка лопается. Лайк, тем не менее, молодец ! ))))
And another nice one ! Again !
Always entertaining to watch you use alternative ways to achieve your goal. Great vid !
Thanks, glad you like it!
So good to watch. Well done
Nice chisel 👍👍👍
Thanks!
😟 “Smooth as silk” 😂 nothing the 40 grit chisel won’t fix. Nice work.
Awesome!!
Thanks!
@@imadethischannel you’re welcome! You make it look so easy. I’ve been looking at videos in this subject because I these are pretty pricey to buy. Thanks for the inspiration.
Very nice chisel :)
Very neat. I like it.
Also great for making tiny fine japanese style mortices for furniture
Cool chisel👍
Thanks!
I can't like this video enough, so cool to watch! I've never even thought about making my own chisels, but man, that does look like a fun project. Great job, thanks for making the vid!
Thanks for watching and yes, it was fun to make!
Looks great! We featured this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
Great, thanks!
İ love it and i learn some techniques to u. Thanks
Nice +nice
Thanks!
Hello, nice realisation🤗. Sorry but I desagree : if you look at mortice chisel the faces are not parallele, there is a light bevel, it's made to help the cut.👌👍🖖
Yes, that is true. But I use it mainly to shape the cavities of wooden planes and for that, I find it helpful to have square edges.
True for a lot of chisels. I think Rob Cosman said he advised lie nielsen to not have the bevels on their mortise chisels, and his own line woodrivers also have parallel sides.
What kind of tape is that you're using to put down the sandpaper? I need some of that
It’s cheap, no-name double sided carpet tape.
As always a fun enjoyable watch. One question, what is the name of that bench top(?) lathe you use? I'm working in a tight space would be interested. Thanks in advance!
Hey, glad you enjoyed it. I’m not sure what brand the lathe is. But I also can’t recommend this design very much. It is almost impossible to align properly. There are other hand drill lathes where everything is at least mounted to some sort of rail.
I've seen a good benchtop one made by AEG - mine is quite old though so look second hand
What is that mini lathe set up and where did you buy it??
It was made by a company called wolfcraft. I got it with a box of other used stuff. It’s not great though…
Awesome work! What did you do about the split?
Thanks! And well spotted. I cried briefly and then decided to fill it with wood glue and clamp it tight because I didn‘t have time to redo the handle...
@@imadethischannel I think I would have used super glue or epoxy. But I'm always overdoing it! I hope it holds! Love your videos!
Beautiful work, dude! Really amazing looking chisel! 😃
Well done!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks!
Смотрю с наслаждением! Ждём с нетерпением ещё!
I love mortising chisels, but they are hard to get and pricy in Europe. Don't know why. I have some questions. When you heated the steal, was that a brick underneath ?. Would any brick do ?. Did you use a blowtorch to heat it up ?. Great video, i would never have thought about making my on chisels. Mystery solved, thank you So much
Yes, I use a simple blow torch on a gas can. The bricks are there to concentrate the heat on the steel and stop some of it from escaping. I use chamotte-type fire bricks, but I guess normal bricks would also work.
@@imadethischannel thank you so much for your answer. I feel more confident doing this myself. Chamott is a good choice, they are made for ovens 😀
An old file could also be made into a mortise chisel using the same method.
Bom Dia, pode passar as medidas que usou neste projeto?
Hey, most of the dimensions are pretty arbitrary and depend on the material you have. The most important thing is the bevel angle. It should be between 25 and 30 degrees.
@@imadethischannel obrigado
You scrub with your files.. don’t do that unless you are rich and can just keep buying more and more
Handle Butchered
Yes, well spotted! It wasn’t so bad, though, so I kept going :)
