pairing chisels from Woodpeckers

Probably avoid those

David Weaver

If anyone is looking to pare with chisels, it's hard to beat older english chisels in a paring pattern (but you have to get them from UK tool dealer or off of ebay UK in a group to get any reasonable price).

Stu sent me a fujikawa bench chisel to eyeball (they were about $20 in japan) and I could tell by the lamination that they were machine pressed in a die, which is OK.

When the chisel that I got was quenched and tempered, it warped forward, which is a no no (opposite of a belly) but that was never corrected.

The finish on those paring chisels is a grade below what stu sent me. They may all be flat, but they weren't even pressed in a die to turn the corners of the lamination up.

white 1 would be an odd choice for a budget chisel, but it could be due to the availability of hitachi pre-laminated material. It's hard to make a white 1 chisel well without significant temperature control (too much carbon that only ends up uniformly in solution once the steel is heated if it's normalized at high temperature in an inert environment or forged in cycles with decreasing starting temperature).

I know nothing about them but was just tweaking the copywriters on the spelling.

.I didn't miss the one liner about pairing, by the way

Maybe they're bluetooth.

I could order them and sell the progeny I suppose.

... my comment below in time to read your post (or rather, I posted before reading this response).

Woodpeckers can spell, either. As much as they bang their heads into trees, I'm surprised they can even operate a website!!

(you should see what the japanese chisels translate as when you read the proxy services).

These chisels are for fox digging. According to the listing, there is no wig for four or five minutes.

(I'm curious how the wig applies to the foxes at minute six, what it looks like and who wears it?)

I ran this through my Enigma machine and learned these were forged from tamahagane by the great (name your fabled Japanese blacksmith)

If I only ran a cruise ship....

....I know what it would be called. It'd be a budget line....

...the cheap one-liner. "you can say the service is bad, but we know. The whole ship is a joke!"

But why did you think an enigma machine would work to decode it? At least you should have started with the JN-25 naval code (that is what the allies called it). lol

At least you don't have to eat too much to get the bad taste. Now how much do you have to drink to get the bad taste out of your mouth.

Handy bottles...

I travel with twin bottles of Tobacco and Jim Beam mouthwash.
