"Fine things in wood are important"
—James Krenov, A Cabinetmaker's Notebook
Notice the chisel (my thinnest) and how it compares the the waste area next to it. If your thinnest chisel is a 1/4", you cannot cut pins that run to the width of the saw kerf: your chisel will be too wide to remove the waste.Labels: Basic Concepts, Dovetails, Mistakes

My first woodworking project was a Christmas gift for my wife, in 2003. Since then I've dedicated much of my free time to learning about woodworking and the associated tools. The more time I spend woodworking, the more I think everyone should know something about it. A Woodworking Odyssey is my way of thinking about and sharing the experience I gain.

Sounds like you'll be making a trip to your local Woodcraft Store for a 1/8" chisel? Hey, buying a new tool is a GOOD thing!
Any excuse for buying a tool is a good excuse. I will indeed be getting a thinner chisel.
Yeah I was going to say the same thing. It's not a mistake, it just means you have the opportunity to get a new chisel.
