Flat sur-faces, especially those sunk beneath the surface, as the insides of boxes, are frequently smoothed withan ordinary firmer chisel, which is ground and sharpened with one bevel, but rather thicker than forcarpentry. The edge is then burnished like the scraper, and it is applied horizontally like a hard-woodtool, as in Fig. 8478, but against the face or plane surface. The wire edge then lies in the required po-sition, but it must be frequently renewed. The broad, represented in three views in Fig. 3488, endures much longer, but it requires to be helddownwards or underhand at about an
