Jajajajaja el tío esta rayadazo votó el router a la basura.
Yeah I don’t use a router to mortise hinges either. I use a milling machine. I will use a chisel to square up the corners though.
Luckily I know how to sharpen my chisels scarysharp. I need three ingredients: A guide for consistent bevel, 100-grit sandpaper on a flat surface, and a leather strop with some white rouge.
Lol. I’m still trying to get something sharp. First.
I’m reporting you to the router abuse society, 😊
chisel master
Hello I’m from India I’m professional carpenter I want to join you if you like
Best sharp chisel work I’ve seen in a long time!
are all chisel set’s double beveled? I just got this item and so far i like it but I don’t if I can use both sides, as a small test I use a flat chisel and its seems to work on both sides, I hope i’m right, any help is much appreciated please and thank you. This is the set I have, and that for the sharping stone it comes with am I supposed to wet it then use it? Or can I use it dry as well?
@t
I thumbed this up 6 years ago.
YouTube thought I should watch this again today.
I am impressed, that’s very skilful
Nice tutorial video
Doesn’t seem to work on soft wood, or my chisels suck?
Karmaland 4 😉
What kind of razor is this
Thanks Philip, you’ve helped me a lot the last few years with my hand tool wood working.
that wood is made of butter.
hand position looks dangerous!
How you sharpening the chisel? 😀
😂😂😂
The end is hilarious!
Router abuse
Bevel up ?

great friends, see you guys again
Muy buen video gracias… We thank you for such an important video …
Iam india (Punjab) you are very nice work
Really, 300 people didn’t like that? I thought is was very well done.
He makes me laugh he threw the router in trash and minute later puts it back. Expensive thing mate. Lol still love the video. Thanks
I had the very good fortune to spend a week with Phil a few years ago. For the people questioning the utility of a super sharp chisel, or how sharp his were, I can tell you from trying his that I still have a hard time getting mine as sharp. His could cut softwood and never have tearouts. Paring shoulder endgrain to the line as he showed only works well if the chisel is very sharp. It is too easy to have it ride up or down due to the extra pressure needed in a less than sharp chisel. As to the use in cutting tenons, sure, you can always bang out some tenons with a bandsaw. With a lot of practice you can hand cut with a tenon saw and have a smooth snug fit. What I got from Phil was a more practical and stepwise sense of construction. With a little bit of care, and perhaps an extra step, you can set yourself up to ensure success even when your attention is less than perfect or the wood less than cooperative. The cost of that extra step on many pieces is much less than screwing up tenon and having to start it over. The point in all of this is not that it is the *right* way. Just that there are lots of things one can do to help with the job. Maybe you don’t need any of them, maybe you can cut tenons first time, every time, with perfect fit. That’s great, keep doing it. I really appreciated his lessons.
I was very sad to learn of his passing last year. We lost someone with so much to offer, who already had as well.
What wood were you working here?
" have enough hand planes there ??? "
" ….never have enough hand planes. "
I know this is a really old video, but hopefully you will still see this comment, can I just ask what wood is that? Your chisel is very well maintained on its edge or that wood is perfect for carving lol, maybe both.
that is a joy to watch. I hope my skills with a chisel get somewhere near that one day, and my sharpening too. Thank you for sharing.
The one guy forgot step two. Make sure your chisels are sharp so good God man them things are sharp what’s your secret
There’s more dust on the tools behind than tools itself why buy them in the first place sad very sad
Hey can I get that router ?
Rest in peace Phil.
