I recently bought a used 2" Witherby socket framing chisel. My uncle would like to make the handle for it. He has done quite a bit of woodworking in his garage shop(pretty nice setup). He hasn't made a handle like this before. He mostly has done cabinetry -cradle, rocking chair, dresser, tool cabinets tables, etc and other type of woodwork. Not a ton of turning. Where can I get the ring that you often find at the end of the handle? Do I need to make one myself? I haven't been able to find them on the web.
Second question: What is the difference between a firmer and framing chisel? Are they the same thing?
