How to Square Up Round Mortise Corners with a Bench Chisel

You Don't Need a Corner Chisel

Great video. I believed a machine type tool was necessary, but you demonstrate well.

Thank you Curt!

These corners always trip me up. I wont even say how my goofy ass approached this in the past. 😂
Watching you do it makes it seem so obvious now. Thank you!

I’m cutting 2.5” deep mortises into oak and this worked beautifully. Thank you

[@thejointeffort]

Awesome! I'm so happy to hear this was helpful.

Well done video, thank you. What is your final polishing grit on your chisels, or do you strop?

[@thejointeffort]

I use an 8000 grit Shapton Pro Stone for the final hone. If you dig an round in the sharpening channel you’ll find everything I use.
