Got an interesting conundrum at work today, I'm finishing off the gable end rafters for the restoration I'm in the middle of and have to make this detail where the rafter is shaped so that the step goes over the top of the roof board (see photo). I have 2 ways to do it, old skool where I chisel out the rebate by hand or with my hollow chisel morticer. I'd have thought that the latter is much quicker but it's so fucken fiddly that it isn't and I have to spend aaaaages cleaning it up with a chisel anyway also every time I move the head I have to move it on the X and Y axis.
