Safety Information Always keep cutting tools sharp – blunt blades require excessive force and are more likely to slip. Store chisels and blades with edge guards to protect both the tools and yourself. Work with timber secured properly in vices or clamps, keeping hands behind the cutting direction. Wear safety glasses when chiselling or planing, particularly with hardwoods that may splinter. Maintain clean, organised workspaces to prevent accidents. Frequently Asked Questions What's the difference between bench chisels and mortise chisels? Bench chisels have bevelled edges for general-purpose work, whilst mortise chisels feature thicker, square-edged blades designed to withstand the levering forces involved in cutting mortise joints. How often should I sharpen my woodworking tools? Sharpen whenever you notice reduced performance – typically after several hours of use. Regular honing maintains the edge between full sharpenings. Clean, straight-grained softwoods are less demanding than hardwoods or reclaimed timber containing old nails. Can I use modern hand tools on antique furniture restoration? Yes, though many restorers prefer traditional patterns that replicate original tool marks. The key is technique and understanding period construction methods rather than exclusively using period tools.
