Chisels

[mudhutdesigns]

Whats a good brand for a chisel set? I was at Ace in SM makati the other day and I saw a set by Creston. it's less than 500 ata yun. Is this a good brand? Any advice on what brand to get and where to get?

Thanks again sirs! :)

Sunod na tanong ko about hand planes naman. hehehe

[timber715]

for chisels get Marples (Irwin, England made) visit Panda they have them at about 300.00 /pc. get two or three sizes first if price exceeds your budget, but they are worth it...

amongst the locally available hand planes... Stanley's are still the ones to get.

Or if Panda is far from you, I happen to notice that Irwins seems to flood True Value and Handyman nowadays.

Good luck!

Yes sir! I actually have a back issue of Fine Wood Working magazine which has an article on how to sharpen chisel and planes. Pero syempre iba pa rin yung matutunan ko ng actual.

Pwede ba ko mag enroll sa Timber's School of Wood Working and Craftsmanship? may subject din na P.E..... badminton. :p

I also need chisel. I will try to visit panda after the seminar tomorrow.

Are Record Marples same as Irwin Marples? I saw a couple in T. Alonzo.

If you stick to those both Made in Sheffield England then probability is high that these are still the same. I believe Record was sold to Irwin and later Irwin moved chisels production to China.

There are two types of Irwin Marples. The Marples on the pic above is the same chisel Panda is selling.

Pic below is commonly available sa mga DIY Harware and home depot. I think its CHIna made.

if and when you can, get the Sheffield made blades, they hold an edge much better...

Sheffield England Blades? for P640 it's a best buy! How many chisel/set? Sizes?

Irwin Marples Chisel cost P290 each for 1/4" to 1" sizes. I got mine at Panda.

Footwork rewarded you crazyboi!

that is also where i purchased my set of chisels in 2007..good old Record chisels!

Uy Tit reels and looks like a dungeon but 100% you can still find treasure only if you ask and insists to the only pinoy guy who knows the innards of the store...where abacus are lying around desks...and perhaps worth an arm and a leg.

:diver:

btw: tip...i dipped those chisels in a gallon of polyurethane deep to the neck..this prevents corrosion..

i handle my chisels like a baby..hehe

thanks for the tip. i might go there again to look for sharpening stones for these and the other hand planes that i also got. can you recommend a brand and where i can possibly get the? i'm about to tune my hand planes kasi. thanks

@crazyboi,

sharpening stone? well take a walk on the opposite side and ask inside Mayon for their 1000 grit makita sharpening stone...thats the one i am using before the final edge sharpening via 2000 grit sandpaper over a piece of glass.

dont trust your Carborundum brand for this job fake or not.
