newbie help with chisel work
i'm trying to install a slide bolt on my back door. to do so, i need to chisel out some wood from the frame. unfortunately, my chiseling technique seems to be lacking.
this is the result so far, but no matter how hard i try, attempting to 'carve' out the borders by driving the chisel straight in bears no success - it won't cut into the wood any further than i've got.

i've sharpened the chisel, with an angle grinder:

can anyone advise what i'm doing wrong? any advise would be much appreciated. abuse, ridicule is fine - as long as someone can tell me what to do :)
