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.
Btw I like using a small metal saw for that work. Great control. Same saw I use to cut new saw teeth.
After cutting, chiseling, filing, I get the step.
