Hi Bart--nice shape to that handle, good job.
fwiw, being that it is a socket chisel, the socket should remain about an 1/8" from coming into contact with the shoulder on the handle. So if under heavy use, it drives down to the shoulder, a couple raps should loosen the handle enough to pull it off and turn the shoulder back a touch.
btw, what wood did you use? I like the grain on it.
Take care, Mike
