Hey Group 

Do I need one of these to work with my chisels on 1/4 inch thick pear stock or will a sharp one with elbow grease be sufficient.  Im finally getting around to sharpening my chisels and will be using them this weekend.

Thanks for any input !

Not unless you are working at a large scale - Like 1:1.  A mallet helps when making deeper and wider cuts than on almost any model - unnecessary for the fine work we do on models.
