Specifically when chopping out dovetail waste - where do you grip your chisel?
I have seen it done up high (handle in fist) and also way down low (in the fingertips).
I tend to choke up down low in the fingertips, especially when doing fine work. I always felt there is more feedback and control doing it this way, but sometimes it seems like the trade off is more hand fatigue. The other day I saw a video of a Japanese craftsman who does very fine work, and he was holding handle in fist, so now I'm interested to hear what others do. Thanks
