Well I went to the Woodwright's School yesterday and did my very first hand cut dovetails and mortise & tenon joints. Now I'm hooked.
It turns out I have the tools I need for doing dovetails, but I've never owned a mortise chisel.
Before I run out and buy one or two, I'm looking for some recommendations from those of you who actually use them. Please keep two things in mind though when making a recommendation:
1. This will be for occasional use once I actually get a shop set up.
2. I'm on a limited budget, and while I'm looking for something better than the typical BORG stuff, I don't really want to spend more that $50.00 - $75.00 each.
Thanks,
Len
