Im not sure if this is posted in the right sub fora, but since its about chisles, I chose this one.
I wan`t to hear if any one has experiense with infused chisel handles, especially the socket type.
I have finally got my self a nice set of vintage Berg socket chisels. The socket type is almost unknown and was probably never sold here in Scandinavia, so to me its a very rare set and worth restoring.
They have no handles.
I want to restore them as close to original as possible so I have bought a very expensive piece of masurbirch of which I think its possible to turn about 40-50 handles.
I found a guy close to where I live, who has a smal CNC wood lathe, and he agreed to turn the handles for me.
Now Im thinking of getting the handles stabilized by infusing them with resin.
Here comes the question: Will infusing make the handles more prone to pop out of the socket ?? Or will it make them less prone to pop out ? I have read somewhere that socket type handles often comes loose because of seasonal changes in humidity. Woulden`t infusing prohibit that ?, thuss make them better ?
