Wilbur, thank you for this presentation. As someone who has worked in radiology for 25 years and in cancer research for the last 10 years I appreciate the experience, depth, and research you put into this video. Thanks again.
I think the design of the very inexpensive set you showed with the square edges are 'firmer" chisel. More of a rough work, cutting large chunks out chisel for carpenters more than fine woodworker (not that your cheap set seems very heavy duty of course). There are some heavy duty western chisels with similar profiles.
differance with westren and japanese sharpening that japanese still do it tradional with wet stones while in the westren part they used to the machine grinded and find wet stonding bullshit and waste of time. atleast where i worked they grinded the chisels on a grinding stone and call it a day
I dont know, man, I see plenty of western folks using stones too. I guess it depends on your job. Rough construction beats up chisels a lot and needs a grindstone regularly to clean up the damage. Fine woodworking doesnt do that much damage and 20 seconds at a stone cleans them up for service just as quickly. Stumpy nubs has a lot of good videos on it.
@@spayced for 3 years they made windows, doors, stairs and chuch thing. they guy worked over 40 years there. he always used a grinder weel and never belived in wetting. and how many of the locals think about it

really enjoyed your presentation. thank you for taking the time to present this information
The triangular profile on the paring chisels is so you can clear out the corners in more complicated joints.
thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge
1:09:28 Remember went through this in material science for engineer class, now I almost forgot everything after 10 years.
Great vid.:]
further, what would you suggest as a good quality japanese chisel
