What CHISELS do you NEED?
There are obviously lots of types of chisels out there. But the question is, what do they do and which ones do you need? In this video I'll be explaining the uses behind each type of chisel to give you a clearer understanding of what you need to get started in woodworking.

I really enjoy the format of these videos. Specifically, narrowing down to essentials after educating us on many options.
I'm learning woodworking and your videos are really helping me learn, thank you!
I have a set of parring chisels from way back when I did patternmaking , along with a set of gouges. Bought most of them from older guys who were retiring and some are over 100 years old. I still use them today.
Yeah. I just bought my first chisel. I figured out I just need a thing to clean my saw cuts and as it's practically a flat pointed knife it should do the job. Elsewhere it was mentioned it could be used almost as a poor man's plane so why not. Not cheap though, with the sharpening equipment I mean.
Suggestion: Show how to use each one in short examples.
thanks. i was going to get some chisels and didnt know which ones to get, when faced with a large selection.
probably my favorite craft related channel so far at the moment good content
If you are starting out, as well as a set of good quality chisels for fine work, buy yourself a couple of cheap strong contractor grade chisels as well for all the times when a chisel starts to look like a pry-bar, cut-off tool, nail cutter (oh yes, the temptation is there) or tin opener - it will save your nice tools from a terrible fate.
cmdrsocks, Amen!
Or a co worker using your chisels lmao
For me as a machinist/welder, I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t squared up some corners on aluminum parts with a carpentry chisel
Another great video, Matt! Keep up the good work!
The "flat " spot on the side of the BE chisels is called the "LAND",for those that do not know.
I tend to usey skew chisels for paring in addition to dovetail work.
Nice video. Quality info here.
This is a excellent video and I learned so much from it thanks.
Awesome video man 😎
Stumbled across this channel great content!
Enjoying your vids, and hopefully one day you will get to review Japanese chisels. I have a number of the chisels you showed in this video, but for detailed work I tend to grab my Japanese Koyamaichi Oire-Nomi White Steel as they just sharpen easy and work well..
I reground a couple of second hand chisels to make my skews as I could not justify the cost for something that rarely gets used but when you need one they are very much appreciated.
Great use for cheap Harbor Freight chisels (which aren't bad for $10 a set)
Yea I think I might do that with my firmer chisels! Save me some dosh
Depends on what kind of carpenter you are. I bought japanese Nomi because I really like fine joinery and am doing this in my free time.
Thanks Matt, nice video mate
Chisels like the Kirchen firmer chisels are standard in germany. You just skew them a little bit and you won´t bruise your dove tails. Generations of furniture makers worked with these. They´re really tough and ypu can even get them with a metal knob on the end. Bevel edge chisels are produced an sold in germany since a few years, but they´re relatively new. I got a set of bevel edge chisels from switzerland. The brand is Pfeil. they make mostly tools for carving, but the chisels are just great and not too expensive, about 20€ each, which is a reasonable price for a good tool. They have a really fine edge, perfect for furniture making. I bought them because the handles are the most comfortable I know.
Well done.
Awesome video…thanks!
Another great video buddy
I liked your video, I'm looking for the most heavy duty chisel for the shop. Something that I could hit with a steel mallet and knock off rusty screws and nails in a pinch. I wish it would have a long narrow blade too, I don't want a small one or one shaped like a metal bar. I'm leaning towards an Irwin Irwin with the 5 inch blade
Matt, I am a beginner with woodworking and chisels. Your videos are great. However, as a beginner, would it be possible to list, perhaps, the top ten videos in order of importance for us newbies to view? After I watch some videos, I realize they are way beyond my grasp. I was just wondering if your could offer some guidance. I hope this reaches you because your teaching is excellent. I just don't know where to start. Thank you and thanks for your videos.
Butt chisel is a great name for the only kind Harbor Freight seems to stock, love it
Great video. I did not even know some of them existed.
Very interesting and informative video, 3 years at boatbuilding college didn't teach me about this variety of chisels available, though I did have the good fortune to acquire three old Sorby bevels back then, that I wouldn't swap for any new ones. You did miss out one though, which cuts a partial circlular shape? Very handly on round boats :). Am saving this video, and wish I'd seen it before I went to our annual antique/vintage market last Sunday. I bought a steel topped and a paring chisel, but based on this I would have chosen a firmer too, as am in the middle of lock fitting and hinges right now. Thanks for video
Not bad. I agree with your reasoning.
I bought the Stanley chisels a while back because of through metal on the handle. The flats on the sides though have really been limiting, so now I know I need to new set for finder work. Thanks again for the great info!
The Every Maker believe it or not the little set of 4 bevel edged chisels sold by Aldi and Lidl for a tenner are really good if you happen across them. I have a set and they nearly as good as my sorby's
That is great to hear, I'll have to go find a set! I haven't yet tackled dovetails, but it's certainly on my list of skills to work on.
Good stuff, I like Paul Sellers method. He explains it really well.
Judging from my toolbox, the answer is all of them!
Thank You 👍✅
Hey Matt; I love your videos! Not a single video demonstration has gone over chisels like yours (that I've came across!). I got myself suckered into buying some marples irwin chisels a while ago, and just couldn't work with them and I couldn't figure out why. They are both tapered on the edge AND have flat sides, so they just weren't working for anything other than paring operations. They also didn't fit into my eclipse guide, so sharpening them was a pain. After watching this video and your comparison duel video; I ordered myself a couple stanley 750 chisels. Holy moly, they sharpen so much easier, and they work so much better. I will be ordering an entire set eventually, but for now a 1/4" and 3/4" do what I need it to do at the moment. Thanks again!
Happy to hear that mate and glad to hear you’re getting some good use out of your chisels now. You are very welcome!
Hi Matt...Another informative one! Keep them coming... -Diane
Glad it helped Diane!
good video man
Great Video, this series is is great. I am more of a power tool user, so a set of Bevel edge chisels and some skew chisels are all I need. Purchased a set of Narex Mortise chisels about years ago and never took them out of the package. I do find a crank neck chisel to be very useful as well.
I just found your channel, this is the 2nd video I've watched. I have subscribed! THANKS for all the great info!!!
A few comments. Paring chisels are not meant to be struck and would often be used with two hands on the chisel. The length, handle and blade all facilitate this operation. I use them to carve braces on guitar soundboards. On another topic, corner chisels may be considered difficult to sharpen as you would other chisels. It's worth mentioning tang vs. socket. Easier to turn handles for socket chisels if refurbishing older pieces. The older chisels are really worth reviving too because the steel was high carbon and craftsmanship was pretty great before modern mass produced cheap junk. Look to Swan, Witherby, Stanley 720, 750, Greenlee, Eskiltuna. A great tang chisel is the A.E. Berg chisel. Better than anything you can buy for under 100 a chisel these days. Japanese chisels are often hand made laminated blades with soft steel on the back and very hard steel on the front face that holds an edge better and sharpens very impressively. Worth trying.
Hey Matt, any recommendations for something equivalent to the beginner set of chisels, but from the US?
Easy. All of them.
You touch on chopping mortises several times in this video, and at one point you mention you can actually do it with bevel edge chisels but a mortise chisel is really the tool for the job. I have chopped quite a few mortises with bevel edge chisels, and you're right, those work okay, but, for me at least, the lack of flat sides means they tend to twist in the mortise. I've found that firmer chisels are actually ideal for hand chopping the size mortises you might typically encounter when making furniture. The flat sides helps steady them in the mortise, and they're easier to grind and sharpen than mortise chisels just because they're not so damned bulky. I'd argue that mortise chisels are maybe overkill unless you're timber framing. For furniture making, try firmer chisels for mortises. I'd also like to add my two cents on the Veritas bevel edge chisels. That's actually the set I have, and, like you point out, their bevels go right down to the back faces leaving them with knife sharp edges. I've cut myself more than once on the bevel edge of those chisels! I love them, and if I had it to do again, I would buy them again. However, on mine, I blunted the bevels a bit with a few strokes across a diamond plate so they weren't so damned sharp. You can leave the last inch or so alone if you want to keep them knife sharp down at the business end, but I don't think that's necessary.
I've seen demonstrations of using bevel edge chisels for mortises and they didn't just do an acceptable job, but were equal to or superior to a mortise chisel.
You definitely need to try the new Narex Richter chisels. Holy crap they raised the bar. Best chisels I have and quite a fair price.
Good information give some details about trim router and the table to fix.
In my very humble opinion another aspect to consider about carpentry chisels is the point that they usually are made with softer metal, wich means that they becomes dullier faster BUT they get sharp again within seconds. I have an Irwin set that was gifted to me and I find my self to grab them very often for my handtools orientated woodworking, much more than my Two Cherries and Narex's sets that I bought myself. That doesn't mean that they are better tools, that means: it's hard work to chop and remove an inch or 2 cm of material just as precise you need to be to refine half a mm from your joint, better to have a tool suited for both.
one tip, if you haven't tried it go look at the Tormeck series of sharpeners or the belt style Robert Sorby pro edge, these are NOT just for turners or for the average Joe's knife or axe to sharpen, they do chisels as well, and since a "skew" is ALSO a turning chisel, this is the way to go to sharpen them too; jigs are provided which eliminate most variation from hand and bench grinding, and make any shape a repeatable one, esp if you have a non-standard shape like a fingernail turners gouge.
Good video, with a lot information👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Narex chisels made in Czech Republic, are a vary good option too. I got my 4 pc set from LeeValley and they are 1/3 of the price of there brand, with just about the same quality. Ya may want to look them up before your next video so you could compare them too
Oh I'm aware of Narex! I'll be mentioning them in my next 'Tool Duel'
Hi Matt. Another great video. I had a good laugh at the paint tin comment.
Did you notice the splodge of white paint on it?
hi matt , sent you a question to your Facebook page about what possibly is some type of chisel.
Old Firmer chisel can be bought quite cheaply, they are very useful, and not for opening tins of paint. Old firmer chisels can be bought that are quite light, thin, of very good steel, beautiful tools. Stronger than a bevel edged yet not as big and awkward as a mortice or pig sticker. You can get then in very fine sizes, I have one that is about 3mm. They are very easy to hold for paring, very strong, great for unusual joinery. Overlooked because of the stupid obsession with dovetails, I have not done a dovetail in over 30 years, most woodworkers are not full-time furniture makers, and rarely do dovetails. I use my firmer chisels mainly for my mortice joints since I normally only do ones about 8mm, much easier to use than my mortice chisels, which never leave the drawer. They are that cheap that if you need an unusual size, or shape, just grind one down. Do not mistake modern firmer type chisels with the old ones, completely different. Converted to mm for the modern generation so sizes are approximate.
I see that Woodriver has introduced their brand of socket chisels/full bevel, they look great but I'm wondering if you have any experience with this chisel brand?
Really appreciate the rundown of the chisels. Nice and comprehensive. However, I know a lot of woodworkers are quite partial to Veritas and Lie Nielsen. For good reason. Yet, these top brands are not for the faint pocket books. A set of 5 standard bevel edge Lie Nielsen or Veritas chisels run roughly $130 CAD here in Canada. Are they worth that money? Definitely. Mainly because the steel that goes into a chisel is so important. If that steel isn't high grade carbon, then getting a reliable edge is next to impossible. Taking that into consideration, I'm thinking of someone who is wanting to play around with wood. Likes to work with wood. Has done some projects back in highschool. Maybe even went to a post secondary institution to continue the trade. The baseline is that this individual is tooling up. Either as a professional or just to make stuff at their pleasure. Tooling up is rough on a pocketbook. Even getting hand me downs or second hand tools, the end result will be that getting reliable equipment is expensive. There are certain tools that one cannot cheap out on. Saws, planes, and measuring equipment come to mind. These things are the backbone of woodworking and to be successful, you need high quality. However, there are places where costs can be cut initially and then replaced down the road. Chisels is one of these places for me. Don't get me wrong. I have an immense amount of respect for the chisel and the glorious masterpieces that can emerge from chisels and gouges alone. The secret with chisels is that success relies more on with the user than the tool. With a proper saw setup, the most novice of users can produce great success time and again. Chisels, on the other hand, rely on a skilled users to create success. The higher quality the chisel, the easier the work will go. However, a high quality chisel in the novice hands can and usually ends in mistakes. This brings it back to the steel. Learn about the processing standards of steel. For instance, the carbon grade standard in Chinese and Russian steel is far lower than that of American, British, Canadian, German, Japanese or even Brazilian or Mexican steel. So, a cheaper chisel with steel that comes from a reliable source is much more important than the branding of the chisels. That is not to say that brand doesn't amount to anything. Brand usually means reliability and accountability. Veritas and Lie Nielsen stand up for their tools, whereas other mass produced companies may not. The end result being that if the steel is good (comes from a reliable source), then the chisel can be worked with. A cheaper option can save the early woodworker some money and actually force them to learn the limitations of chisels without potentially losing a big investment. Something to consider when talking chisels. Thanks again for the video!
Dude I'm a german carpenter apprentice and I'll be realtalking you now. Second hand equipment is fine BUT fuck it, if you dont want to spend at least 70€ for Kirschen, Veritas, Lie Nielsen, Stubai or japanese Nomi for a lifetime equipment, what kind of carpenter are you then when you can't appreciate quality? See I pay even 40€ for fkin bad shoes HOW is a precision tool for less than 150€ considered expensive? Enlighten me please. I see it this way, fuck off if you're not willing to pay for quality. This is the reason we as carpenters have problems in the first place - because society doesn't value quality.
@@MrVanhoden Paul Sellers uses Aldi chisels. You don't have to shell out significant amounts of money to get good quality.
Hmm, my paring chisels have a slight convex curve along the length of the bottom to clear the handle. Could that be American vs British style? I picked up some second hand Stanley chisels many years ago. Wouldn't hold an edge, hard to sharpen, trashed them so no one would ever have to put up with them. Japanese chisels: I have three, one good quality ~9/16 bevel sided chisel, and two medium quality basically big long handled framing chisels. Love the small one, meh on the big ones. It's sad you don't get to play with a Slick... Good job!
Hello! If I have chisels with metal caps what sort of hammer would I use to hit them?? Does it matter?
HI, I have a question. What are the benefits of a 30 degree secondary bevel on a chisel?
im super late to have a qustion, i think. i'm wanting to learn to make picture frames with wood joints. I would use dovetails too (im fascinated by them). Which chisel(s) would be the best for this?
Are you asking whether you should use dovetails for this, or saying that you do want to use dovetails and you're asking what kind of chisel to use for it?
@@lachlanbell8390 which chisels would be recommended for dinner jointed picture frames I think. Also a question I didn't realize I had until I read it haha
It's hard to argue against the right tool, made right, but you can suffer through with any something a little off. As long as it hold an edge, can make due.
If you are serious about wood working. Start with making your own mallet. Take walk, look around. You will see an old dead tree some where, or wasted wood. Take my word for it, look, you find some waste hard, A little work with a hand saw, and some chisels, and you will have beautiful mallet that will out live you. After the first mallet, it's all down hill after that. With a mallet, chisel, and saw, you've got a start. Never buy what you can make. What kind of craftsman can't make his own mallet?
i lost in your eyes... jajajajaja good job man, thanks!.
I've got mostly japanese chisels (of varying quality) and I have to say I really hope you get some, play with them and revisit this. If you haven't taken a good look at them, they tend to be very different, with a shorter blade almost like a halfway between butt and normal chisels in size. The veritas style socket tang is actually the Japanese style, though the Japanese chisels have an iron ring set around the end of the handle to prevent splitting. They aren't super expensive either, at least if not buying them brand new.
I thought butt chisels were shorter, tool-box-friendly versions for finish carpenters who needed to mortise in butt hinges and other such household hardware.
I see Rob Cosman (KZhead) ground his own fishtail chisel out of an ordinary bevel edged chisel - It looked like a useful bit of kit, but I bet he charges a fortune for one. Good vid Matt, I picked up a few pointers.
He does, 100$ each
you have inc. skew chisels, but why miss out other wood-turning chisels, aka the bowl, spindle and spindle Roughing gouges ?, they are chisels after all?
Hi again! Not sure if this is supposed to be released or not .... I've never had a nice, new workbench top like what you've made. I think I'd be afraid of dropping a chisel on it or otherwise hurting it. How do you deal with that? I suppose the wood could be hard enough that it's not easily damaged?
Hahahaha you my friend should be a hacker! It definitely hurt to put the first dent in it, but I just have to keep reminding myself that it is a workbench! It's finished in Osmo so most of the gunk wipes off, its impacts and saw cuts that scuff it up.
If you don't want to chop into your workbench, then perhaps use a piece of sacrificial plywood underneath you work. I use a bench hook for sawing and chopping.
A sharp one
Haha! "Bendy Mortis"
In the end, of all the chiselwork in the shop, how many dovetails does one cut? Why is it always dovetails this and dovetails that, when honestly, I've cut maybe four sets of tails this year? And I do use my chisels every day. Other than that, nice video!
You know what, I was thinking the same thing while filming this! It tends to be what most people are interested in when they start woodworking so I guess we all naturally gravitate towards the subject. I guess its because you can use a firmer chisel and bevel edge chisel for pretty much anything around the shop. It's only when it comes to dovetailing (in my experience) that a firmer chisel would be limiting compared to a bevel edged chisel. In other words, there's no point me comparing chisels if I was referring to chopping out hinges for example! Hope that makes sense? Interesting observation though and thank you for the comment!
i cut dovetails all the time, i dont know if its a social media thing, theres lits of dovetailing videos. i love a good crisp handcut dovetail
In fairness Matt did focus on the ones you need to start with and everyone has to have a go at hand cut dovetails. It's a right of passage and a good precision marking, cutting and fitting process. Personally, i wish I'd bought my mortice chisels earlier. I struggled along with bevel edged chisels for my mortices for ages. But I still did quite a few dovetails first.
Radu Vadan .
Because dovetailing is *the* scary, fiddly bit of chiseling hobbyists and beginners will attempt to do/be looking for info on. In a lot of people's heads it's the great gatekeeper to actually being a woodworker and not just someone who screws and glues bits of wood together.
Why Not get a pair of black round framed glasses for the "click your fingers & gone"...
All. of. them.
i like how you brought that pairing chisel in . . "christ" was a fairly accurate assessment of my thinking
I’m only getting in to woodwork and you’ll probably call me stupid but what is a carcass
What about dovetail chisels?
Can anyone assist in recommending brands for chisels? Specifically mortise chisels. I don't mind higher end/professional grade. Perhaps a set of 4? 1/4, 1/2, 3/8, 1. Or whatever the standard sizes are.
Butt chisels are useful for detail work by hand as the handles are usually bigger and rounder so don't dig into your hand when you push hard. You should now refer to them as 'fat butt' chisels :-)
I also prefer them for carrying in my bags when I do finish carpentry. Smaller, lighter.
I Want all Kinds of chisel,, how can i contact with u??
How do you sharpen a corner chisel?
its hard you realy need to be taught how to learn
A square sided mortise chisel needs to be started exactly in the right line because you can't straighten them out once you really got going.
Thanks. How to chisel...CHECK ✔️
can i just get any brand of cheapo chisel or does brand matter?
Look up paul sellers on here he does a great video on sharpning cheap chisels
@@petercoughlan103 thanks!
Some cheap chisels are rubbish and will wear away very quickly, some can be used for many years with great success. Cheap ones tend to need grinding to a good shape before you use them and will rarely be sharp when you first buy them.
start 0:45
I really like this compilation but it is missing ( GREBSTK 1/4 inch Wood Chisel Sturdy) in my compilation the number is included. Nr1 Note that these products were ranked “best seller” at the time this article was written. Amazon’s Best Seller list is updated hourly, so for the most current list.
Couldn’t you simply(?) grind a chisel to have a bevel edge?
Yeah maybe. It would take ages, and I'd be scared of overheating the chisel and softening it while grinding off that much material, but if you have a grinder, a bunch of nice firmer chisels from a junk sale, and can't afford new chisels, it's definitely an option.
@@Zepheriah Yeah, my time is worth a fair bit of money. Grinding the edge down would cost me more than buying new chisels.
Matt... sry for my bad language.... But xxxx I xxxxx xxxxx like your vidies. To be more mature, thank you very much for the the time and effort you have literly ploved down to the making of all of your videos....! I have a personal youtube video time of about 5 min, and it took me abt 6h to edit :) So... again, in an mature adult way, thank you very much for your time and effort.
My inner 12 year old giggled at butt chisels... i hope i never grow up.
@Nicholas Ovel - There is always a few hidden gems good for a laugh in every area. In hockey they have "butt plugs".. a wooden plug placed in the butt end of a stick for extending the overall length. There are also grease nipples for lubricating a vehicle as well. The real question is who named these things so?
I have a chisel with a brass ball at the end, I call it my unicker.
the gay guys like these
@@paulwhite760 how do you know?
growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
13:28 p-yew ;o)
"meow"... LoL
Hi Matt, Enjoy your videos.....could you tell us which brand paring chisel is in the video? I think the woodworking community could use some jackass style woodworking videos, just saying. Jon
Putting me on a lathe would be as dangerous as anything the cast of Jackass do! The chisel is made by Henry Taylor so should be good quality. I've never been able to compare it to anything else though
"Nobody wants a bendy mortise..." Haha a Bendy Mortise sounds like British slang
I've recently inherited a load of chisels (approx 50) that previously belonged to my father and his father, I'm the first generation who hasn't got a clue what they do 🤪
Was that a fart @13:30? Wasn't me...
It hurted my feelings every time you put them back with the cutting edge down... Other than that, nice and clear explanations :)
I do framing my 1 in. Beats against a 22 oz Vaughn framing 🔨 all day and I can shave with it...
There might have been a butt chisel demo at 13:29 . . . . . .
That corner chisel is a waste of money ...if you are going to square the corner of a hinge recess freehand, you can do it more easily with a normal bevel edge chisel. A better option however is to use the Trend corner chisel, which registers off the sides of the recess, and one quick tap squares the corner perfectly.
I bought one the other day to use hanging these little 600x600 doors in insulated fire-break wall in a stinky old people's home attic. Used it on the first door and it worked a treat in really awkward areas. Lost the bloody thing in the roof lagging tho. Gunna buy it again tho.

Butt chisel ? Do they make them Politician size? Fnarr fnarr. Seriously this vid was useful. Thanks
hit it with a hammer never use a hammer on a chisel you use a mallet
Not impressed with your comment about opening a paint pot with a chisel also using a hammer on a wooden chisel ? Also would be interesting where you get your information from no disrespect but was not very impressed

I thought it was hilarious
Not funny dont do anything on Japanese chisels
I’ll have you know they’re very good at removing stubborn blockages in the toilet. 🚽
When you started talking about the first chisel you blasphemed Christ. It's a real shame about your language because you are such a talented and knowledgeable woodworker and everything else about your videos is excellent. Your bad language is a real shame because imo it lets you down when so many other aspects are top class.
