I found a 1/2” firmer chisel without handle in a collection of vintage tools given to me last week.

I found an almost identical 1" chisel yesterday in a box of my father's tools; I was looking for a socket chisel to fill in a gap in a set of Buck Bros. chisels. The socket had been mildly abused, but not to the extent of yours, and I was able to grind off the slight mushroom, polish it, and fit a new handle. I could see the wrapped forging in the bottom of the rather blunt socket. It is just slightly heavier than the Buck Bros chisels but remarkably similar in size, form, and finish. Dad, like I, was an inveterate collector so there's no telling where the chisel originated. I've spent the last year sorting through his things, displaying some, swapping some upgrades into my usable tools, etc. We're in the Niagara area of Ontario.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-83728458063649898322015-10-07T20:12:39.043-04:002015-10-07T20:12:39.043-04:00Nice restoration!
