Throughout the making of every piece of mobilier I’ve created, I have found chisels to be essential for paring the cheeks and shoulders of tenons, wasting-out mortises, and forming the dado (groove) on the sides of drawers.
Chisels carve or cut by virtue of a single-inclined plane (i.e. beveled on only one side) blade and force provided by hand or through the assistance of a striking mallet.
