Most folks, that know me, know I have a wife and four kids that I have supported for a long time. Two of the kids are graduated summa cum laude and working, one is still in college and the youngest is still in high school.
All that to say i don't have a very big tool budget. In fact I may be the most frugal hand tool user around. But, I decided I could do without a few lunches and treated my self to the finest chisel I have ever held.
David Jeske lives and works in Sandy, Oregon as Blue Spruce Tool Works. He has built his company up from nothing to now having one employee.
I finally got to meet him at WIA a few weeks ago and bought a 7/16 dovetail paring chisel. I have other chisels, a set of Stanley Sweetheart dovetail chisels and didn't really neeeed a new chisel. But when I picked it up I couldn't put it down. It just fit my hand and felt so perfect.
None of my chisels really make it easy to do the final fitting of small dovetails and this one is just perfect. The sides are not just beveled they are machined with a concave edge to completely eliminate and chance of dinging the wood in the wrong place.
As I am able over time I hope to add more of these fine tools to my kit. I hope you will consider Dave for your next tool purchase because i will need him to be in business a long time so I can complete my set.
