Chisels are great for so many things. Especially because they can be used for rough or fine stock removal. I think there’s a tendency to watch instructional videos from some really great carpenters and think you need to have these absolutely perfect mechanics to use a chisel correctly. Well, that’s just not true and to be honest, a chisel is a really simple tool to use if you follow a few basic strategies. Obviously the more practice you get the better but there’s no reason you can’t get amazing results in the early stage of your journey.
