I bought a mortise gauge on an online vintage tool shop recently and was curious to know who made it.
There appears to be a makers mark on it, but it's very unclear so I'm not optimistic anyone will be able to tell me!
I'm really pleased with it. The other one I have (which was a new one from Axminster) is not very easy to use. Unlike this one, there is no screw for setting the mortise width. It's just a case of holding that with your thumb whilst you adjust the fence. I feel like I don't have enough fingers and thumbs and it's not helped by the fence being very stiff to move (which I can improve I think). This "new" one is a delight to use.
