RWW Podcast # 13: Rehabbing an Old Chisel

This week there is much ado about the trip to Berea for the Woodworking in America conference. The long awaited date is fast approaching and I have been prepping my tools to take to the conference. In this episode I will walk you through my steps to resurrecting an old firmer chisel that I won on eBay. As a bonus I show you how I prep a new Veritas plane blade right out of the box in 5 and a half minutes!

The blog of the week is none other than my favorite Roubo creator Jameel at Khalaf Oud Luthiery. Check out his blog today and be amazed.

Also in this episode I mention my new Veritas jointer plane and my first usage of Zem hearing protection. And coming soon is my guest appearance on The Saw Dust Chronicles with Rick Waters and Erik Pearson. Check it out.

So finally here is this week’s installment of The Renaissance Woodworker. See you all at Berea and for those not able to make it I will be active on Twitter and the blog daily during the conference. Come back soon, same bat time, same bat channel!

Excellent use of that burl! I’m sure all the ladies in the family will be happy and that, of course, translates to your happiness!

Great video, Shannon. I noticed a small hole in the left side of your lathe’s tool rest. Does it have a purpose?

Also, being a hand plane afficianado, I thought you might like my last blog post:

    Chris, to be honest I have no idea why that is there. I suppose it could be there to allow you to hang it on the wall when changing to a larger or curved rest.

Excellant project. I’ll have to remember these for next year. I too made several pens, bracelets and a bandsaw box for presents. I really enjoyed the lathe work, I don’t get to see enough of the lathe and would like to see more.
