Design study for a set of paring chisels. I am currently working on ways to produce my tools in larger quantities, in order to keep up with the demand. Also I am trying to build up a small stock to prevent long lead times. The new miling machine and the new surface grinder open up lots of possibilities but the whole plan still need a lot of thought. Making good and correct engineering drawings is an important part of this progress. I am currently designing a set of paring chisels in Autodesk Inventor. Real life prototypes will follow soon! Stay tuned!

NEW: marking knife prototype. I have made this handle years ago, maybe even 10 years ago and it's been laying around since then. I always liked how the design turned out and that's probably why I kept it around. Now, with the intention to expand the tool making more and more, it's time to put this to work. The plan is to make a few more knives to tweak the design. Once that is al done, they will be available for sale as a kit or custom made!

A very colorfull combination! A bench chisel and a "stubby" or butt chisel. The handle of the bench chisel is made of regular Padouk wood. However, the handle of the butt chisel is made of blue colored, resin infused maple wood. The red an blue of the handles gives a nice contrast with the yellow brass ferules. The handles have the typical, tear drop shape which is my signature handle shape. Sets of 4 chisels in different widths will soon be available for sale! Stay tuned!
