More tool work

So, two chisels broke this week; the regular hardware store plastic handled 3/4 inch broke right in two, and my fancy corner chisel (well, $42) wooden handle split from the metal cup being pushed too much. I may have not set that in properly to begin with.



So, I went to work, and about 20 minutes later, I had my new handles.

not too bad for a first try, huh? Oak on the corner chisel, madrone on the small one. That one was harder, as it's got a shaft for the handle instead of a cup.
