The irons in the foreground of this picture are for Steve Knight's rabbet and dovetail planes. The blades in the background are for mortise chisels. |
 |
Here is a custom chisel I made for Eric Pigati, a friend of mine. It is very short to provide maximum control for precise work. We designed it to be comfortable when held vertically in the hand as for chopping mortises, and when held horizontally for paring. |
| When held vertically, the blade itself is held in the palm, pointed down, with the thumb and forefinger lightly gripping only the lowest part of the handle. Eric uses it for cleaning up the spaces between the pins of small dovetails, cleaning out corners, and such. |
