Thanks for the vid! Old socket chisels are hard to come by here in NE Texas.

[@TheNorthlandWorkshop]

They must have all drifted up here to New England because they seem to be all over the place around here.

Great video, looking at making handles for some old chisels I picked up. Subbed! Have you made a slick, that would be interesting?

[@TheNorthlandWorkshop]

Thanks! Do you mean have I made a handle for a slick or have I made the whole blade and everything for the slick?

Most socket chisels have a taper of 7.5 degrees on a side... but there are some 6.5 degrees all the way to 8 degrees.... on a metal lathe.
I do not paint the grooves, but burn them in with a piece of steel wire pulled with two vice grips.
