Handmade FRAMING CHISELS
We recover some of the finest quality high carbon steel from lumber mills in central British Columbia. Hand made, hand forged, hardened and then differentially tempered, the timberframe chisels we make are strong, well balanced and hold a superb edge.
The edge holds through the hardest of knots.
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.

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 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.
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 and functional design. Each tool is unique and what we consider working art.
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.

"They have been an absolute joy to joy to work with. I still have a little smile every time I take one out of my tool trolley and when someone new at the yard notices them I’ll always take 5 minutes out to give them the full story. I’ve never had anything made bespoke for me before and it is a pleasure to work with a tool that’s been made specifically for me."
