While trying to take things easy,...yeah..riiight.     Figured I could set up a place the right height to sharpen a few chisels up.   Got a 1/4" scrap of plywood to set the oil stones on.  Dug out the veritas MkI honing guide.  Found a bottle of 3in1 air tool oil.   A couple chisels needed a trip to the grinder, first.   Most were at 25 degrees, but one was @ 30 degrees.  Set the oil stones on the plywood, gave them a shot of oil.  and went to town on it with a chisel.  Even polished the backs flat.   After the stones, then a few trips down some 2K paper.     Set the group out of the way when done..

That long, skinny one is the 30 degree Firmer chisel.  i was going to do the gouge...but, had other things to do...

 

Tonight, got the last of the chisel work done, I hope.   So, now I have another "batch to bring upstairs to refresh the edges

Bevel chisels and a bunch of mortise chisels, even a few by Butcher.  As soon as I figure the angles out for the mortise chisels, I can get busy on them.. Until then, I just kick back and rest the back....maybe.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to get to my chisels- while I have the wet grinder out.

Well, got all of those done, yesterday.  Mainly while waiting on BLO to dry.

Two are those "Aldis" chisels  Sellers loves.  the rest are mortise chisels, 1/8" on up. Today, I spent almost as long on ONE chisel..

1.5" wide.  Still trying to read the marking on it. Most of the black ink is missing.    They stamped a logo up on the handle, of course, where it could just wear away. 

 

have a another "batch" to work over....maybe while I'm waiting on Football games to start?

That BIG VanCamp framer chisel may have to just wait it's turn.   Then 95% of the wood handled chisels MIGHT be done?   May need more sandpaper....

 

I did find out that a bottle from3in1 made for air powered tools, works very nicely on oil stones.   Seems to work better than "regular" 3in1 oil.

I've got to get to mine. The "bBench Beater" is in sad shape.

Nice looking set of Chisels Steve,
