Excellent. This is the guy that sits back and watches people struggle at a task before saying "OK, gimme a fucking hammer".

Can't say I'm a huge fan of the tactic, but this is pretty ingenious. I would have never thought of this.

It's a blunt tool for a delicate job

Amazing technique! I can't wait to try this

I like how this method retains the appearance of the page edges as it doesn’t seal them up at the visible edges of the book.

No one is going to burgle your house once they've seen you in action with that hammer and chisel

I have a massive textbook to hollow out so this will make that task a whole ton faster!

I just got a call from my boss that the FBI were on their way and I needed to hide something in a book within 5 minutes so this was perfect

A really good idea for doing it fast. I do wish I could hear your commentary over the music.

much faster than my method of slowly cutting with a box cutter

I bought (well Jeff sent me a free one) a bigger chisel last autumn thinking I could speed run a book carving. No faster at all. Now I’m thinking of a smaller chisel that cuts faster…

Thanks! I have made a few Book Lamps & used a paper cutting blade in my jigsaw…still made the pages rise up. Been looking for a process that didn’t warp the pages….a chisel?!? Of course! Thanks!!!

Thank you! This is exactly what I was needing. I tried an oscillating saw and that just made a mess. Don't know why I didn't think of a chisel.

Chisels! They're made for destroying tree bits

Curious if a drill and bandsaw would work

I reckon it would if you got the skills

I mean this could be fairly therapeutic after a crap day, as a bonus. Traffic was a nightmare? Instead of road rage, chisel the hell out of books!

Stress relief comes in all shapes and sizes. The title of the book could be a contributing factor to the relief you feel

After reading the book you got the energy, didn't you?

Stupid background music, I couldn’t continue watching it

A drill and scroll saw take about 10 minutes (depending on the book's thickness). You're welcome... Though, I will applaud you for using something other than a razor knife and taking forever and a day. Also like that you glue the inside.

​@garrethbert yeah and if most us had a big chisel...

Well i dont have a big chisel to work with so im stuck just cutting away with my sharp craft knife. This is not something a woman of 74 years is capable of using. Not only that but it took some muscle to get this done.
