Why and How to Blunt Your Chisels [VIDEO]

Often the sharpest tool in the box is the problem. Or so I keep telling myself.

In this video I go off on-one about the wonders of the blunt chisel and some of its benefits.
A boring old tool like, but once you’ve had a feel it’ll become a fundamental tool.

Once you’ve got the gist of it I nip through a couple of options for setting one of these up. I’ve loads more applications and tool sets ups that work around this set up.
I’ll do a follow up once you’ve all recovered.
