It's probably best to use a mallet when chiseling, but I have a tendency when completing tasks to grab the closest tool at hand that works well for me. If you note at the beginning of the video, the mallet I regularly use when chiseling is right there on my workbench at the right side of the frame the whole time. (It's a nice one I got from Lee Valley years and years ago, with a cherry handle and brass head.). I got it out and had it ready to go, as that's what I had intended to use. However, as I started chiseling, that small hammer was closer -- I grabbed it and just kept going without thinking much about it. -A.J.
Looks pretty straight forward to me since he's obviously using short scrap not actual parts of the real table. And whenever i do mortises in outdoor stuff I always make the fit slightly over-size since whatever goes into them is going to swell up like crazy in outdoor dampness.
How would you do a multiple notches??? In a 2" x 4" X 30" I need a make 10 notches with 1" of separation from each other and 1.5" wide and half an inch deep what will be the faster way to do it ?? any ideas ??
I respect that you uploaded the video, but come on man this is a poor example let alone the chisel work and fit, not a good guide for people starting off and really tells me something about this channel. POOR
Thanks, always appreciate the many and varied ways that woodworkers do woodworking projects. Thanks for taking the time.

WoodworkersJournal Your still missing the whole picture.

Are you not meant to use a mallet when using a chisel?
NEVER strike a chisel with a claw hammer.
a little bit on the wide side but that's fine?
It would be mutch acurate and easier if you would use a router and a jig.
Who makes that small skill saw?
Rockwell. Dremel also makes one.
1 year late but it should be Rockwell's Versacut.

Terrible craftsmanship and tool usage

Good example for inaccurate and inefficient woodworking ever.
Crap workman
