A set of10 Sukemaru all-HSS chisels costs about $400. I wonder if you have heard of them, and how they fare in durability. There seem s to be a correlation between the American A2 steel and Japanese HSS steel chisels with how new technology improves upon traditional design. Eiyo Baba Honolulu, Hawaii Editor's Note: I have yet to find any chisels from Sukemaru available in this country, and have found only a couple brands that incorporate high-speed steel. Contact Tools for Working Wood (toolsforworkingwood.com or 800426-4613) or Dieter Schmid - Fine Tools in Germany (fine-tools.com). High-speed steel can indeed be made very hard (up to 68 on the Rockwell "C" scale, according to "The Tool Steel Guide" by Jim Szumera [Industrial Press]). And it can be quite durable if properly heat-treated. I have a HSS chisel on my bench and will be interested to see how easy it is to sharpen and how tough the edge is. I'll report back my test results in a future issue. — Christopher Schwarz, executive editor 'Lap Desk' Knob Looks Too Fragile I've been self-employed since about 1992, doing all kinds of residential and commercial alterations and renovations. I have a concern about the "Shaker Lap Desk" (June 2004): The drawer knob looks too fragile sticking outside the front surface of the drawer front. I'm afraid it would break off accidentally. Can't you make the drawer front thicker so the handle might be recessed so the outside of it is flush? It also seems more pleasing visually. Kerry Ness Lillooet, British Columbia Editor's Note: The knob is somewhat exposed to accident as you mention, but in building the desk we tried to work within a certain amount of material usage, too. By using W-thick cherry for the project, we could control the yield (by resawing and with grain match). But you're correct — the knob can be recessed in a significantly thicker (1" or greater) drawer front to accommodate the "-long knob. This would allow the knob to recess flush to the surface of the drawer. PW — David Thiel, senior editor CIRCLE NO. 170 ON FREE INFORMATION CARD. 14 CIRCLE NO. 132 ON FREE INFORMATION CARD. |
