Hi Chris, I picked up my tools today & must say I’m more than excited to be the 1st steward of these fine art tools. I will use them with delight and take care with my new treasures.
Thanks a bunch!

Chris, Tools arrived today, absolutely great, love them, now just need to get the wife busy so I can retire to the shed and use them. Thanks again Chris for the great value and attention to detail with your tools.
Cheers Andrew

Chris, I received my small double square awhile back, and I have to say I am really impressed. This is a beautiful little tool, and obviously manufactured with love and care! It’s BRILLIANT!
With so much cheap stuff on the market, it’s a pleasure to find someone making quality tools for the discerning worker.
I’m perusing your site now to figure out what I can buy next.
Sincerely, Rush Bowman.

Chris,
The Try Square arrived today. Thank you very much it is fabulous. And yes I will care for it with the reverence
it and its maker deserve. It is a tool made to be used and used it will be.
Hope you had a great christmas.
Cheers

Hi Chris: I attended the Handworks Event this past week in Amana and bought 2 of your sliding bevels (4″ boxwood and 7″ Blackwood). The workmanship is amazing! It’s some of the best work I have ever seen. I will no longer have to worry about the blade moving while doing layout work. Fantastic job. Many Thanks. Will order more in future.
Take Care and have a safe trip back- John C. USA.

Hi Chris,
I received your knife today, and couldn’t be happier. You’ve designed the perfect marking knife.
Thanks!

Chris, Since using your square my dovetails have significantly improved. I am very happy with my purchase.
Thanks

Hi Chris, Just letting you know that my bevel gauge arrive safely in the mail yesterday. Great workmanship, congratulations and thanks. I’m sure this will end up in the family heirloom category.

Hi Chris – my tools arrived this morning – to say I am pleased is an understatement – the square and bevel are fantastic.

Thanks – Doug. NSW. Australia.

Hi Chris,
My matched set of sliding bevels has arrived, and they are even more beautiful to use than they are to look at.
Really impressed and pleasantly surprised.
They are really solid – that is some piece of brass. And the heavier gauge steel in the bevel is another pleasant surprise. As are the perfect width dimensions of the slides and the internal slots.
Thanks again.

Chris,
Did I tell you I got the bevel? It’s awesome. Perfect in every way. I find myself trying to make angled parts just to use it!
Stay cool! It’s 5 degrees (F) here right now, and it snowed 12″ overnight! Winter is here. Toasty in the shop though.

Tite-Marks

These are the original and the best of the modern wheel type marking gauges is made by Glen Drake Toolworks in northern California. 

The fine adjustment and the finesse with which it functions is one of the stand out features of this quality tool. 

Available in three sizes:
The Tite Mark Mini - 100mm or 4" marking width and 38mm dia head.  1/4" rod diameter.
Tite Mark - 120mm or 4.5" marking width and 40mm dia head.  5/16" rod diameter.
Tite Mark Long - 170mm or 6.5" marking width with 40mm dia head.  5/16" rod diameter. 

Be aware of the different bar diameters when purchasing spares or accessories.  The mortise blades and all other blades are designed to fit the larger two gauges, NOT the mini. 

So if you want a small precision marking gauge and have no desire to kit up with other blades then the Mini is perfect for you. 

If you want the option to kit up now or later then you need to get the TiteMark regular or Long version and all the accessories will fit at any time in the future.
