Just thought I would wrap up this thread with an update.
My 1" Veritas replacement chisel came in the mail yesterday. So this morning I brought the damaged one back to Lee Valley and came home...
This made me curious, so I took my kitchen scales to weigh all of my mallets.
My Veritas Journeyman's brass Mallet: 11.4oz
My walnut Mallet I made: 13.6oz
Carpenter's Mallet: 1lb 1.1oz...
I was going to hold off on updating until later this week. I reached out to Lee Valley and they have shipped me a replacement which should arrive on Wednesday. So I'm very pleased with that. I think...
I hear the food tastes way better with torrefied utensils.
I guess what I'm asking is:
Am I an idiot for using a mallet with these chisels and I can use this as an expensive learning experience.
Or should I bring the chisel back to Lee Valley and see if I...
Thanks for the replies. I'd like to know what's going on as well. I still consider myself a beginner so I imagine it is something I am doing.
When I first got the chisel I flattened the back to a...
No worries Edward. There were 2 possible issues that were suggested. One was using a brass mallet on a wooden handle and the other was the handle itself. I decided to try a wooden mallet as suggested...
It happened again. Bummer

Since my last post I bought a 1" PMV 11 chisel from Lee Valley. I've only ever used it with my wooden mallet but had another sad incident today.
I'm making an...
Same here.
I went from a Rockler 1250 with super dust deputy to the SuperCell and do not regret it.
CFM wise, I measured 700CFM at the impeller with the Rockler but it quickly dropped off to...
I have a SuperCell as well and if I had a choice I would have bought the Turbo.
I'm happy with what I have but have yet to hear of anyone complaining about too much CFM.
Yeah I can't argue with the cost.
My closet is more like a sound wall with a half door. The inside is double layer of something called SonoPan which is used to soundproof rooms. I also used a lot...
I don't have a camvac but did purchase the Oneida SuperCell. It's basically the same thing and it works really well in my shop.
The advantage I see with the camvac is being able to plug a long hose...
Thanks to all those who said I should go make a mallet.
That's just what I did this week with some scrap walnut and ash.
Just in time for my new 1" Veritas chisel that arrived yesterday.
This is...
How do you like this vise for spoon carving?
I've made a spoon mule and then built a collapsible shave horse to carve spoons. They both have worn out (left one out in the rain, the other was made...
Thanks for all the great replies to my question. I found it great to hear what everyone uses for mallets and surprised at the variety out there. For now I bought Lee Valley's carvers mallet:...
Thanks for the replies everyone.
I'll get my rasp out and see what I can do. I might have to look into some of the Mallets recommended here too.
Thanks again.

A few days before Christmas I was using my favorite 3/4 bench chisel from Veritas to install a tail vise into my workbench. Right before I was about to finish for the day I felt my chisel...
My Felder bandsaw came with a footbrake. I got it new about a year ago.
I started with Seneca and ended up donating them to the rehab store and bought the woodpeckers one instead.
I've hears TSO are the best but I bought the woodpeckers set as they broke down and fit...
I like Elipse Low-Profile Dust Respirator with my prescription safety glasses.
A much quieter option is Powermatics PM1250 air filtration unit. I can keep mine on all day and not even notice it's on.
Thanks for the detailed reply John, I should have left it at "less tension" instead of "release the tension".
That is a very good idea. I've got a tension meter on order, it should show up in a...
Hi Glenn, thanks for that reply. It was the first time I'd heard of the flutter method. Thanks I'll give it a try when I'm back in the shop.
Yes they are both 170", I just rechecked my order.
From R&D bandsaw in Canada: Ripper37 (1" to 1-1/4" wide) - Width: 1" Thickness: 0.032" TPI: 2 Length:170
From Felder Machinery in Canada:...
That's what I understood from reading books and other posts. What had me confused was the idea of less tension to get rid of flutter. You wrote in one post that you can get rid of flutter if you...
