Does anyone have a set of mortice chisels and what sizes are they ?
Also, what relative depths are they ?
The reason I'm asking is that I want to order the steel blocks from a steel yard cut to make my own. Okay, this might sound a bit old fashioned as I'm sure they can still be bought but I want my own hand made set.
I've only seen one at a car boot sale and I've seen that the (side on) depth reduces from just after the cutting edge plane and assume this is to facilitate a small up and down movement in cutting deep mortices. Sadly, this was the only time I've seen one as I should have bought it.
Many thanks,
Richard.
