Was out and about, trying to find a holder for the Dies I had bought....Dies are 3/4" diameter...Lowes?

No holder that would fit..but..

Picked 4 boards...1/2" x 6 x24"...maybe a project coming up?

I had already been to Menard's....Screen Door hinges, and

Thought this might come in handy...

 

Tried the Tractor Supply stores...nada..then went to Harbor Freight....struck out...but, noticed a price reduction....

normally these are around $15.....these were $9.95+ tax....

 

I still have 2 that I bought 20-30 years ago..

3/4" and 1"...Compare to the same sizes of the new set..

Handles were bigger, back in the day?

Factory grinds?

Nice, thick blade..just a bit rough around the edges...

Back of the chisel...and..

 

and the bevel.   a slight hollow to this grind, left a lip on the end...we have ways..

Almost time for a new cloth wheel? 

Last 2 out of six, have been sharpened, backs have been polished up

Tested on Pine.

 

The 1/4" chisel has no beveled edges on the sides of the blade..looks more like a 1/4" Mortise Chisel, Hmmm.

 

Instead of Metric...these are in Imperial  sizes..

 

Thinking about doing a Rotation...between these and the Aldi's chisel sets...and see how these will work...

 

Stay tuned...

 

I didn't stop at H-F today. Too many other stops; wore me out. For $10 I'd give them a shot too. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on them.
