Lee Valley's 1/2" skew detail chisels
Robin Lee,
Your skew detail chisels are an absolute delight to use when paring the shoulders on a tenon. I expected them to be good for paring tail ends on dovetails, but I was not looking for what they will do on a tenon. :-) What are you going to do for an encore? |

Lee Valley's 1/2
Hi Lowell,
I have and use these very frequently...if the scale of work you do warrants them, try the other detail chisels too. I use them nearly every day for such tasks as cleaning out DTs, paring small mortises, paring the square mortise for saw bolt heads, etc. Take care, Mike |

I bought the skew chisels to fill out the set, thinking I would use them, and I have. My only complaint is there is no room in the box for the skew chisels. :-) |

Hi Lowell,
I made a new box like the detail set out of scrap Mahogany and a piece of 1/8" Baltic Birch ply for the bottom. It now holds the skews as well. Take care, Mike |
