Using the bevel chisels(am i missing something?)

cant see very well what’s happening in the picture with the full block, but to chisel down to fill a chip like you have there, you shouldn’t go for the diagonal shape (which is flatten block with precise chisel removing diagonal corners),

if you are trying to fill two corner gaps like that with one block, you won’t be able too, because (as @Nightstar explained) you cannot remove the middle of the diagonal shape to leave opposite corners floating

chiseling one block can only fill one corner chip (gap) like that and to do that you follow these steps (you probably know that):

here are two chips like yours to be filled

go for slab first (half thickness, either bevel or square chisel hitting twice):

then chisel off half of it (either horizontally or vertically):

then precise chisel half of remaining shape (either a top or a side depending on whether you went for horizontal or vertical shape earlier):

Except I was hoping to fill in both sides, using the one block, which isn’t possible.

Anyway, I made this…

I wonder how that would look with some liquid in the chiselled blocks and glass panes in front.

in that case you would have to go for double the size so you need 2 blocks to span the arms of the pattern - that way you will have chips filled in both arms

SilverSunn · December 1, 2020, 6:39pm

oh wow, I didn’t think of that, thnx man.

Also @boundmore, I meant to fill in both sides, like this…

SilverSunn · December 1, 2020, 6:39pm

Yeah, double the size could work, but it wouldn’t fit my build then!

boundmore · December 1, 2020, 6:47pm

double-size the build!!

watch super size me - the film - to look for instructions

The shape (block) you want …
… is one of many shapes we are missing,
and we all waiting for at the moment.
Who knows, maybe we get some of them next year

also, see this topic below

You may be able to get what you want if you make that same shape with precise bevel chiseling… it’s basically a half block offset of the bevel chisel. May still not work but it’s a thought.

Oh wait I may be thinking precise slope chiseling, I’m a little rusty. There is an option where you precise bevel chisel all but opposite diagonal corners to get one block split in two but it doesn’t work here.

boundmore · December 1, 2020, 9:58pm

it is slope - you get kind of horns; still, they are connected and don’t split into 2 separate parts

I’m using a similar pattern to start for my outdoor lights .

Ahh, not to worry, then.

VSDalSheron · December 14, 2020, 3:31pm

what is the chisel methodology for those? I want to replicate something like it for my prototypes im working on

Rydralain · December 14, 2020, 3:36pm

I was trying to answer this, since I’m pretty sure I know how to do it, but I can’t figure out how to articulate it better than “well, you just stand at the top and use the precise bevel chisel to make it diagonal”, which I’m not sure is actually useful.

If I ever get done with my other projects, I want to make a chisel school on someone’s creative world.

VSDalSheron · December 14, 2020, 3:37pm

probably helps to lay it out for me on which blocks and positions you started with, that would help a lot too

georgegroeg · December 14, 2020, 3:45pm

I think it’s 4 x 4(2x2 in the centre with deco gleam) x 6 blocks high.
Bevel the side down to a half block. Then precise bevel chisel out the centre and top and bottom if that makes sense.
