A shorter course in woodworking; a practical manual for home and school . the blade and also to restupon and hold the wood in place if necessary (Fig. 89). The lefthand should always be kept behind the cutting-edge.

For fine cutting the chisel can becontrolled as in Fig. 102. The fingers of the left hand can thus guide or check the tool as it is pushedforward by the right hand. Asa rule cut with the flat side ofthe chisel next the wood. A slicing or shearing stroke^is effective. That is, hold thetool so that the edge cuts slant-ingly, or somewhat sideways, in-stead of being pushed straightFig. 85 through the wood (Fig. 94). It is largely by the varying balance of two forces—the pushing forward of the chisel with one hand and the controlling with the other—that effective use of the tool is acquired. ^ The edge of a razor can be pressed against the hand without cutting, but if moved. 32 A Shorter Course in Woodworking:
