That is a whopper!
If I'd been the cameraman I don't think I would have got so close.

Short handle for a slick. They're a key tool for timber framing, I haven't seen them used so much for boats.
He took that scarf pretty close, and cut some big chips - lots of skill/confidence.

In shipbuilding the chisel shown is known as a 'slice'.
Salaman describes it thus: 'A very broad flat chisel with a blade 2-4'' wide and up to about 30'' overall length and with a slightly rounded cutting edge. The socketed handle is offset to keep the hand clear when paring a flat surface and sometimes terminates in a knob for pushing. Used for fairing and removing waste from the deck and elsewhere, particularly in places where the adze cannot reach. At HM Dockyard Portsmouth (1969) a slice with a 14'' handle was used for clearing tar and dirt from the sheave-slots of ships' blocks.'
