The only advice I'm going to impart on this subject is if you use V shaped chisels, keep them sharp!
If you are cutting deep Vs especially in hard wood the chisels can split at the base of the V where the hook tends to form, as I've found to my dismay a couple of times now, and I'm not using cheap chisels.
Chisels aren't cheap, but five minutes sharpening before you start work costs nothing.
