I have a couple of Ibbottson socket mortice chisels that I wish to re-handle. I am looking for pictures of original handles for these chisels, or similar.
This is one of the chisels, along with a handle I turned and hooped. It does not feel right to me.
And no, I have not re-ground the bevel yet. It is a high 30 degrees. It will be 20 degrees with a 30 degree microbevel.
In use, these are awesome mortice chisels. Even more so than OBM variety.
All advice welcomed.
Regards from Perth
