This may be old hat to some folks but it was an "ah ha" moment for me. While perusing my local hardware store for a snow shovel I noticed a rack of wood chisels.
I looked at and bought a Stanley 1 1/2" chisel. Sometimes I like the barrels of my pen turnings to be straight and this turns out to be just the ticket. Goodbye to those slight peaks and valleys. Goodbye to my sanding block and all the excessive sanding dust.
Makes a beautiful turning tool and for my final finishing I turn it over and wrap some sandpaper around it and it becomes a very true sanding block.
I used to use a skew but once in a while I'd dig in and make more work for myself.
In my hands this solves a number of inconveniences.
