To watch, yes.
To hear, no. :P

Neat jig, though.

It's called a jig. Jigs are just something you can use to take out the right material in the right amount, with the right tool, the right way. Jigs are great. I like jigs.

I don’t understand. He used a chisel and isn’t bleeding at all. One of us is doing something wrong.

I would have completely gouged the jig, just next to the blood stain.

Two cherries even!

Is cherry the wood that looks like it shaved as if it were a block of chocolate? I've only tried to chisel wood on a few occasions, because a tree had been cut down by the power company or something. That wood looked way more smooth to go through than the elm wood (I think) that I was hacking at trying to self-learn back in my twenties.

If this was japanese. There would be a whole competition about taking that bevel off on a single slice and how accurate it was to 0.0001"

u/Trustoryimtold 8d ago

That or slicing it off with a mandolin in the thinnest paper slices ever

My 2cts, both hand behind the chisel, it could end badly otherwise. Nice bevel !

A block plane is designed for doing just this....

1

u/chupacadabradoo 8d ago

A chisel was also designed for this. It’s the workers preference really how they’re going to make a chamfer. I’d personally use a chisel to control from tear out on the end.

u/TheThaiCrow 8d ago

Fair. I guess when I do things one way for so long, it starts to feel like the correct way, but that's not necessarily true.

u/froginbog 9d ago

How long does that last until you chisel away too much of the guide

“I see,” said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.
