October 11, 20187 yr Popular Post comment_162316 Checked the Mailbox today...just bills....turned around to go back inside the front door....sitting BEHIND the chair on the front porch ( out of sight from "Porch Pirates"?) was a brown box....came from The Mesa, AZ! Gene Howe had sent a package to me. Got the box opened up, removed all the packing supplies, including some blue tape... Used as edge protectors..worked just fine. Mortise chisels! Gene wanted to know IF I could make use of these. I do believe so! A HUGE THANK YOU!! to Mr. Howe. Will try to use these on the next project.... Report

Unlike Steve, I don't chop mortises. In fact, I'm done mortising...period. Report

Something else I discovered from that research.... George's dentures would most likely have been made by a BLACKSMITH! Having done some work with a farrier, I can just IMAGINE the fitting procedure!
