I keep my skews in the same roll as my bench chisels and they always
seem to find work. Nice tools!

Hi Lowell,

I made a new box like the detail set out of scrap Mahogany and a piece
of 1/8" Baltic Birch ply for the bottom. It now holds the skews
as well.

Take care, Mike

Hi Mike,
I have the detail set and I use them. I bought the skew chisels to fill
out the set, thinking I would use them, and I have. My only complaint is
there is no room in the box for the skew chisels. :-)

Hi Lowell,

I have and use these very frequently...if the scale of work you do
warrants them, try the other detail chisels too.

I use them nearly every day for such tasks as cleaning out DTs, paring
small mortises, paring the square mortise for saw bolt heads, etc.

Take care, Mike
