Kev Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Stumbled across this one this morning from Rob Cosman.. I always enjoy a video that gives me a different perspective on some things and explains them to make sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkinneb Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I agree it was worth watching. I also agree with him on most of his opinions on the tools in the video. Probably the only one that caused me pause was the mortise chisel I prefer them to have a slight bevel on the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to toss out my opinions too early but, that was certainly one that I wasn't sure I agreed with. I think he probably right if you're a hand tool purist and use them to chop mortises. I don't work that way but, I understand his point. Another one for me was the pull saw. What he said makes sense but, I honestly never thought about it that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkinneb Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Agreed! I have his DT saw and love it so I would never use a pull saw for those but I still think a pull saw is a very useful tool to own and honestly they are cheap too. I have a dedicated shooting board plane and feel that I should have saved my money on that one. It works well but I actually learned hand tools from Rob's videos and still find myself grabbing my Woodriver #5 for that use most days 🤦♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the LN saws but, would like to test drive one of Robs as well as a Bad Ax just to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Rob's DT saw and two Bad Ax saws (tenon and 12" hybrid) they are all awesome but the Cosman handle, while not as pretty, just fits like a glove and is a dream to use for DT's. I also like the 12" hybrid I use it for almost everything not DT's. Probably could have gotten by without the Tenon saw but its extra depth comes in handy when needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
