May 25, 20179 yr Popular Post Located the one Garage Sale in town.....stopped in to "look around" Hmmm, $4 handsaws? already have 20.....$4 hammers...meh..$1 chisel? According to that ruler, it is 2" wide. Seen better days.. Been "Mushroomed" twice, second one after the first broke off. Still had a wood "plug" in the socket.... Ve Haft Vays.....Handle USED to be a lathe chisel from Harbour Freight. We now have a slick.. About 19" long, counting the handle. Back needs a little more work,,, As for the screws...picked up a couple packs at Wall E World......spent more for them, than this chisel... Edge was a bit curved, got it straightened out, and honed to 1000 grit, for now. Seems I did show a bit of "restraint" ....older days, I would have cleaned the sale out...

Know what you mean...don't have the storage for much more...at least you're actually getting some use from most of yours...I'm not even doing that! BTW...awesome recovery on that chisel. You saved it from the smelting pot!
May 25, 20179 yr That's a good day. I have a soft spot for the old chisels too. I like them to have a manufacturers name and made in the U.S.A. or I pass on them.
