Bob,
The video of the clock makers, for which you provided a link, showed a clockmaker cutting a hand made dovetail. The chisel he was using was a Japanese chisel. Unlike the English and American chisels which are designed to be driven with a wooden mallet, the Japanese chisels are designed to be driven with a steel hammer.
