The Last of the Old


Here are the last two items from the pictures my dad sent me. The first one on top is a marking knife. Because, a line scribed with a knife is so much more precise than a pencil line. The lower one is a dovetail marking guage. It is used to mark-off dovetails before cutting them quite obviously. One side has angles to mark softwood dovetails and the other is for hardwood. I think I saw this in the Lee Valley catalog and though hummm I can make this.
