During the week, I film woodworking projects, tutorials, reviews and a viewer favourite &#8216;Tool Duel&#8217; where I compare two cometitive manufacturers tools against one another to find out which is best. <\/p>\n<p>I like to have a laugh and my videos are quite fast paced BUT you will learn a lot, I assure you.<\/p>\n<p>Lets go make a mess.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From the comments:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Matt Estlea<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>1 year ago<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>UPDATE<\/p>\n<p>Watch your fingers on the sides of the chisel if you&#8217;re going for the pencil grip, they can sometimes be sharp. Firstly, this isn&#8217;t a bad thing; in fact its quite useful! Watch this video to see why: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z9S6r104pQk\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z9S6r104pQk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But if you do find you are cutting yourself, try one of these three things:<br \/>\n1: Loosen your grip. No need for a death grip here. Hold it with the same pressure as you would with a pencil.<br \/>\n2: Run a bit of 400 grit sandpaper up the edge of the chisel ONCE. Don&#8217;t go back and forth with it, one stroke will be enough to take the edge off.<br \/>\n3: Keep in mind that every time you cut yourself the skin toughens up. So if all else fails, keep battling through it! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-21-How-to-use-a-Chisel-CORRECTLY.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-21-How-to-use-a-Chisel-CORRECTLY-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-49766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-21-How-to-use-a-Chisel-CORRECTLY-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-21-How-to-use-a-Chisel-CORRECTLY-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-21-How-to-use-a-Chisel-CORRECTLY-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-21-How-to-use-a-Chisel-CORRECTLY-853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-21-How-to-use-a-Chisel-CORRECTLY.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matt Estlea Published on 26 May 2018 Chiselling is one of those things that looks easy at first glance, yet as soon as you have a go with one your work looks like roadkill.
