David,
I think you owe me a new keyboard!! Post a warning before you put tool porn
up like that....
I have been wanting to build a jointers chest like that for a while, but
could not find good pictures of the interior of a nice one. Thanks for the
pix. I especially like the idea behind the converted saw till.

Who saw his first morticing chisel in the wild and was going to buy it
until picking it up noticed the previous owner thought the bevel was too
steep and put a nice 10 degree back bevel on it, *sigh*

In the set of oval bolstered pig stickers I just got as part of the
chest
mentioned in my saw nib post, the grinding angle is very low. I'm not
home
so I cannot measure them, but a pic is here:

The arris between bevel and top has been intentially and skillfully
radiused.
This is the case also with the bench chisels (low angle also).
I'll measure the angle when I get home tonite.
Best Regards,
David C.
