What is the preferred method for sharpening a mortising chisel?I recently purchased a couple of mortising chisels for those occasions where only a couple of mortises are required. I'm currently flattening the backs of the chisels. Given that mortising chisels are often subjected to a fair amount of abuse, is it advisable to hollow grind the face of the chisels before sharpening, or should they be left flat as they came from the factory? - Jack Dobrian #woodworking #woodshop #chisels #handtools Drill Press, Chisel Sharpening

A through mortise is a mortise that goes through one face of the board to the other side. It can be considerably stronger than a mortise that does not go through the board.
