I started restoring this ‘ciseaux bedane’ a while back and got sidetracked. Still some hand grinding to do on bottom, but it was almost there. These chisels are meant to be whacked hard, and I’ll need to put a handle on it with two ferrules, so I bumped it up as my test for using threaded brass plumbing fittings as ferrules. Strong.

Instead, I went straight to laying out and cutting the stepped shoulder for the fitting flange; 3x2mm on this fitting.

I used the same method as with the main seat. Circle on end. Dividers for marking depth (dots all around). And cut along dotted line.
