Hello all, have been searching this and other forums for the past few days, but can't seem to find an answer.
I need a chisel to cut out a large mortise (1.5×3.5") from a 6×6" wooden post. I don't want to spend much.
But with research it seems like a tedious process just to get a working chisel. I have to buy the chisel, sharpening stones, and a honing jig, and sharpen, hone, and straighten the chisel.
Are there any other solutions? I just want one decent working chisel, without having to buy several other tools and accessories to have the tool work.
