[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]
In making a mortise and tenon joint the bruzz chisel is used to make the mortice or hole, usually rectangular, in a piece of timber which will receive the tenon, a peg-like piece of wood shaped to fit into the hole. The chisel is tapped with a mallet and the wood it loosens may be hooked out. This bruzz chisel, with a wooden handle and steel shank, belonged to Mr W. W. Field, a wheelwright in Winson, Gloucestershire. Mr Field retired circa 1960 and the business closed.
