Day 35 and 36 churned out a couple of decent joints on the outside but on the inside they're ugly as ugly gets. I'm easily at least a week overdue for a good sharpening session for my chisels.

If all goes as planned, day 37 will see me using a freshly tuned and sharpened Stanley 750 Sweetheart. Here's a little sneak peek at the forthcoming review.

The overall finish of the 750's is pretty decent, but could be better

Low spots in the backs[/caption]
Each chisel was in decent shape with fairly flat backs. BUT, 3 or 4 of the set had definite low spots that required a bit more time on the flattening stone than I would have liked.

All in all I only had to spend 60 minutes or so flattening the set. Not the greatest, but compared to a few chisels I've had in the past, 60 minutes to flatten the entire set really wasn't that bad.
