Garrett Wade - Bench Chisel
A house-brand chisel with a beech handle
Dec 01, 1999
This well-balanced, house-brand chisel, made in the Czech Republic, has an iron-ringed beech handle and is touted in the Garrett Wade catalog as a “superb value.” Given the chisel’s performance, I’d say they are right. The tool scored an “average” on the toughness test. The price is for set of six.

Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
Starrett 12-in. combination square
This accurate, robust, well-machined, easy-to-read combo square is as great as ever.
Marking knife: Hock Double-Bevel Violin Knife, 3/4 in.
