Chisel

There are also clamps for holding down your wooden piece to the table.

There is also a vice attached to the table. Make sure vice is tight and your wooden piece is firmly attached.

This is a YouTube video showing some ways to use a chisel:

• Splitting = cut along the wood fibers
• Chopping = cut across the wood fibers
• Slicing = edge cut along the fibers at the edge of a piece
• Pairing = edge cut across the fibers at the edge of a piece
• Lots of combinations of these can be used to make our parts
  • forward to 7 minutes to make a rounded end
  • forward to 8 minutes to make a rounded cut in wood
  • forward to 9 minutes to flatten a surface
  • forward to 9:30 minutes to chip a channel
  • forward to 11 minutes to rond corners

This is another YouTube video on the safety while handling a chisel.
