thinner than the others, they are better adapted to the light work 

 on which they are used; moreover, when used with care, they will 

 answer every desired purpose, e/en for heavy work or with a 

 mallet.

The beveled-edge chisel shown at , Fig. 43, is greatly to be 

 preferred. It is lighter than the other kind illustrated, and 

 the square angle being removed, the workman is enabled to 

 reach into angles and under projections difficult to reach with a

square-edged tool. A set varying in width from inch to inch 

 by eighths, and from f inch to 1^ inches by quarters, nine chisels 

 in all, will be found useful. 



The paring gouges used in pattern making 

 are ground or beveled on the inside, as shown in 

 Fig. 44. These gouges are made in regular, 

 middle, and flat sweeps. They are indispensable 

 for working out core boxes and other curves. 



In selecting a set of paring gouges, they 

 should be not only of assorted sizes, but of differ- 

 ent sweeps, so as to work out semicircles and curves of different radii 



The common firmer gouge, illustrated in Fig. 4~>, is a useful 

 tool for rough or heavy work, but in general its use can be 

 dispensed with in pattern making.
