Chisel covers
Posted: 14 Jan 2019, 19:30
I feel guilty taking advice from members on my workshop build and not being able to give anything back.
So I was wondering if anyone would be interested a quick tutorial in making a very simple chisel cover.
I have made one previously but did not take any pictures.
This is one of my old chisels it got damp in the garage my new Narex chisels are going to have either a box or tool roll.

After taking the picture I decided it was too large so I have trimmed it.
I set a pair of dividers to 3 mm marked my first line down one edge laid the chisel down and drew another line using my ruler and dividers I marked the outer line, and cut.

Using the same setting on the dividers I walked them down the lines leaving a nice little mark where the stitching will go.
I have diamond shaped tools called pricking irons or stitching chisels to mark the stitches but dividers work other items can be used even forks.
If anyone is interested I will finish it tomorrow
I should say I am not looking to make these to sell to anyone I just thought it might be of interest.
