No.3 Guide for Big Mortice ChiselsThis is a new version (autumn 2012) of my no.3 mkII ie the simplified (no sprung pin for Lie Nielsen skew blades) with an increased working gap to cope with deep section mortice chisels. Note chisel projection distances have to be increased accordingly, my user notes will detail this change. This further development of my no.3 guide increases the 'throat' or space available for chisel and wedge to 13/16 inch ie 21mm from my usual 7/16 inch ie 11mm. Tip: a slip of paper does a good job of eliminating any slip or movement between the chisel / iron and brass plate and two wedges will cope with all you need, there is no such thing as 'all those wedges' ... recommended profile / taper include with the info sheet. Massive sturdy wheel spacing ensures the jig is master of the tool. Should you wish to retro- fit upgrade your existing guide to 'deeper working throat' I can supply an upgrade kit of longer screws and spacers £9.00 excl vat Price £41.80 ex vat. No.3 upgrade kit for deeper working throat. Price £9.00 ex vat. |

Super Accurate Plate Brass SquareWorkers have asked me for this for a long time, a super accurate tool that I reckon is within one thou inch max deviation along any edge. Dimensions 3 inch inch long leg, 2-1/4 short leg. A nice tool to handle, to have on the workbench. Carefully machined with super crisp flat edges from notoriously flat 3mm engravers 'compo' brass sheet. Once seen it really does sell itself ! Price £24.00 ex vat. | |
Plumb Bob and Case, hand turned solid brassI'm re-introducing this after nearly a quarter century being unavailable. Is as hand crafted, hand turned as you can get, illustrating the trade of 'brass finisher' a line of work long extinct. Interestingly the handtool that I use to form the outer bobbin concave flange is stamped H & D ie Holtzapffel and Deyerlein a partnership that ceased around the same time that Stephensons 'Rocket' first ran at the Rainhill Trials. Price £33.38 ex vat. |

Memory StickTwo well fitting sliding brass bobbins to 'remember' whatever dimension, actually a handy device in my own place for 'centring' all my die-cut packaging; spawned wheel marking gauges to follow. Heat blued nicely turned steel locking screws onto 3/16 dia stainless rod 5-3/4 inch (ie 146mm) overall. I first offered this in the mid/late 1980's and as with the plumb bob was one of those items discontinued because of being busy with tooling for electronic circuit board tooling, with hindsight I should have kept these items in production, other firms picked up the ideas and called them their own! Price £30.00 ex vat. |
