Inspired and encouraged by the good Dr and in a fit of, rarely seen of late, enthusiasm I had a go at making a recess tool for use in a future project.
From a collection of old bench chisels I selected one and set to on the grinding wheel
I was just a little concerned by the shower of sparks in a cluttered and wood dust laden workshop but after about 20 mins I had ground away a 5mm recess and put an 80° edge on the cutting face with the help of the Proedge.
It will never win a beauty contest and until I get a chance to test it I will not know how effective it is but it is a start.
