While we are on the subject of Japanese chisels, has anyone tried that
set offered by Grizzly? From what you can tell in a catalog they look
and sound pretty good but the price seems too good to be true. Has
anyone out there taken the chance?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

Dave,
If you want some SERIOUS chisels, drive on up to Alameda, and visit
The
Japan Woodworker. Make certain you bring your high limit credit
card,
though. They are rightly proud of their tools.

On the other hand, your grandchildren will be trying to decide who
gets
them when you're gone....



I've been looking at just buying a couple of chisels from Japan
Woodworker. My limited set of 1/4, 1/2, and 1" of cheap stanleys have
seen only use of the smaller two. And they are better suited to glue
line scraping than mortising.

What does one need to spend on individual chisels to get a good
mortising chisel? $30 $50 $150?

Thanks for those who have used them.
