Al, here's some quick and dirty ones I made in an afternoon.  They take a nice edge and being thin, it's easy to get a shallow sharp angled edge.

Rich,
Nice cheap but efficient chisels. It takes me about an hr start to finish to make a chisel ,mounted with a handle. I use coil spring from a garage door.
