Someone gave me this today (it’s a Marples & Sons 1/2″ bevel edge chisel)…
~§~
It’s in pretty poor shape…
~§~
The sole of the blade…
~§~
The top of the blade (the bevel edges can just be made out)…
~§~
Here it is again after a couple of hours reworking…
~§~
The blade has been: extracted, reforged, re-shaped, ground, hardened, tempered, lapped, polished & stropped.
~§~
The handle has been: re-turned, sanded, waxed & polished.
~§~
A sweet tool…
