A guide/jig to hold the work-piece on the bench-hook when using a fine saw - pressing against the timber being sawn, with an abrasive strip of coarse sandpaper to prevent slipping. The Japanese saw is just resting on the bench.
The design stolen from Finbarr Lucas on my recent woodwork course!

. . . . . and some second-hand chisels better suited to cutting mortises than my existing set. An ebay purchase for £9.99 for 9! Yes, they need cleaning up, grinding and sharpening but chisels looked after last a lifetime.
UPDATE - after some cleaning up I found that I had a set of 4 Marple "Shamrock" brand chisels in graduated sizes amongst them. A pretty good find!
