I decided to make me a chisel this week. I am using W2 steel, measurements are 3/8" thick, 1 1/2" wide and 10 1/2" long, the base is 1/2" round. My current goal is probably use metal only, it has a good feel in the palm and good control, I even mushroomed the end for a hammer/mallet but I would like to use this on my lathe
I am considering going with a flat nose scraper or a round nose scraper. I did cut 2x of these and may just end up with one round and one flat. I am open to suggestions so lets hear them!
First photo is the sections I cut yesterday, second is how it looks today.
