Handmade FRAMING CHISELS
We recover the finest quality high carbon steel from lumber mills in central British Columbia. Hand forged, hardened and then differentially tempered, the timberframe chisels we make are strong, well balanced and hold an superb edge.
Headsaw steel is high carbon steel with a molybdenum, chromium and nickel content. After we handforge, harden and temper we go back into the blade, differentially tempering the tang and blending the tempers in the chisel blades. This creates a chisel blade with tensile strength, tough enough to pry with and a razor edge that holds. We guarantee that all our chisels will hold an exceptional edge and are tough and strong at the same time.

Tang and Socket Fit Chisels.
The steel runs 2/3 the length of the handle from the hoop on the top of the apple wood handle to the cutting edge. The socket is hand forged and welded to the tang. The handle is fit over the tang and into the socket. Full tang, socket fit, offset or straight framing chisels (offset chisels are built with a full tang ).

Handmade Timber Framing Chisels
"Scott the chisels are great! They function great, as skews as well as with a hammer. The off set farrel is great. Pretty big chisels! I think I need a bigger hammer...And sharp ! Like a razor, keep there edge too through fir knots. You should have seen the looks when I pulled them out on the job site, some serious tool envy happened." - Jeremy -

A slice of drive shaft persuaded on hot creates the heavy duty hoop. An apple wood handle (wrapped in leather if one should choose) set into a deep 32mm or 1 1/4" wide socket assures toughness and a strong handle. The handles are 3.75 cm or 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Socket fit chisels,
The handforged sockets are 3 1/2" long with an inside diameter of 1 1/4". The chisels are strong, well balanced and comfortable. Up to 50 cm (20") overall and they carry a lifetime guarantee.

" The chisels are performing beautifully. They hold a great edge, and I'm very pleased with them. I seem to be sharpening and honing less frequently than the others in the shop, which speaks to the quality of your steel."

The steel we process for chisels and slicks comes from 5/16” x 72”
and 52" lumber mill circular headsaw blades, 3 and 6' chipper blades and
5160 spring steel(truck leaf springs).
Excellent steels for large woodworking hand tools because of their
strength and toughness.
The edge holds through the hardest of knots.
We choose hard tight grain apple wood for handles because of its
exceptional strength and beauty as well as its availability to us from local orchards.
We hand forge the steel, we don't use a pneumatic hammer, controlling the direction of blows.
Our focus is on the edge, balance, comfort, aesthetic and functional design. Each tool is unique and what we consider working art.
Concentrating on the balance of function and beauty, the two enhance, not detract from each other.
They come with handmade 8 oz leather tip guards. A hand sewn leather wrap is optional. Our chisels carry a lifetime guarantee.
