Unused tool

[DomValente]

Whilst photographing my ' dinged plane', I remembered this tool which was given to me 15 years ago and has never been used, anyone else have or use one.

Is it for removing deeply embedded nails or removing screws that are just turning (stripped)

I think it is a Japanese tenoning chisel. 8)

Probably because of PeterTheGoodToolGuy's misnaming. I'd love to see someone make a tenon using this tool.

In fact, it's a double mortising chisel and sometimes used to "plough" parallel grooves for short distances. It's called a Nihon-Mukomachi-Nomi.

Thats easy for you to say

As Pam says it is a japanese chisel for cutting pairs of parallel mortices.

I used one once, when writing about Japanese chisels it in an article for Furniture and Cabinetmaking. In fact that could even be the very one which was returned to Paul Brown....

Did not find it easy to use! But did not practice.....

best wishes,

Huh ! All these years and I thought it was for tenons :shock:

From Knights 1880 Mechanical Dictionary:

Tenoning-chisel. A double-blade chisel which makes two cuts, leaving a middle piece which forms a tenon.

I won't disagree that Peter Veal has used this expression but unless he is very very old he didn't come up with it :lol:

[pam niedermayer]

Again, I challenge anyone to make a decent tenon using this chisel.

I don't know the Knight's book/catalog. Does it include Japanese chisels? My source is Toshio Odate and personal use of the same type chisel.

Pam, I am quite sure you are correct - Knights Dictionary doesn't specifically mention Japanese chisels.

My final comment would be that the idea that this is a tenoning chisel seems to be a mistake that others have made.

All the best,

Steve

It amazes me how long some people will persevere, before finally admitting that it's time they bought a wider waterstone :lol:
