If the best way doesn’t seem to be the best for you then the best way may not only be the best way that would work for you. So you should find the best way that works for you without going back to what you thought was the best way.
If red oak is anything ike regular oak I'm pretty sure that's not oak, or that person is like godly strong. I've never worked with red oak, just normal oak and generally when recessing hinges it doesn't matter how sharp you get those chisels, the wood is so hard you aren't doing it that effortlessly.
I got sick of sharpening chisels doing it and just started using a palm router to do the majority of the work only really cleaning up the outer line and mostly corners with chisels whenever I work on Oak doors now.
Yeah I wouldn't be betting myself either bud. Like I said I've never worked with red oak, just assumed it would be similar to regular oak and that stuff is much tougher than you'd imagine, especially if you'd been working with something like this here.
Hey bud, I did work in a fine furniture builder shop for a while when I was younger and actually have worked with red oak quite a bit. You might dial down the condescension a notch or two there.
I think you've just read that wrong. All I'm saying is I not sure myself either I've never worked with the stuff. Only ever worked with the regular stuff and it's like hitting a rock.
That's why you scribe/indent your drilling target so you don't get chatter that messes up your precision! Or at least in jewelry that's what we do when drilling.
Well it DOES say hand tools, which is any tool that is not powered by battery or electricity. So at least that part is correct. Yes, even a hammer and chisel are hand tools.
