I was doing a few wood chisels today - I had a couple that I couldn't get a 25 angle on   they seemed like they were too short to get the desired angle   I'm new so tell me what I'm missing  thanks

Welcome to the forum, Tilly.

My first thought is that you are correct; those chisels are too short. Traditionally, woodworkers used "bench chisels" while at the workbench. They often had some shorter chisels called "butt chisels" when working away from the shop.

Standard advice is to use the SVS-38 Short Tool Jig. Here is a link:

Keep us posted.

The MB-100 is another option.  I think this video covers the use of it for short chisels:  https://youtu.be/3r_1mZ9XjIs
