A comment on the previous post asked about setting the honing angle.
Here’s one way of doing it. Set a sliding bevel to the angle you’re after. (I chose 30°.) Then, after fitting the chisel into the mould, adjust the position of the mould in the honing jig, by eye, so that the longitudinal axis of the chisel runs parallel with the blade of the sliding bevel.
I glued a strip of wood across the underside of the mould so that it can be located in the honing jig at the same angle every time. And that’s it.
Eventually, I suppose, repeated honing will shorten the chisel and increase the angle of the secondary bevel. That will mean that it’s time to regrind the primary bevel and repeat this process to restore the angle of the secondary bevel.
A point I forgot to mention in the earlier post is that it’s worth creating a stop in the moulding at its upper end to prevent any tendency for the chisel to slide up while it’s being honed. Here you can see a stop formed by the lip that mirrors the indentation between the socket and the handle of the chisel.

Roughly how long did it take you to create that moulding?
Oh, it’s quick and easy. 15 minutes perhaps – plus half an hour for the resin to set hard. I should admit that I didn’t get it right first time because I hadn’t realised the need for the stop at the upper end. So I had to make the second improved version that you see in the photographs.
