No 2 son David and his delightful wife Amy are visiting for a few days. David (also a hobby woodworker) brought me a Garret Wade combination square that also makes the tea. I'm absolutely delighted with it, it is the kind of tool that will get used daily. Beautifully made.

Extend the scribing gadget and it's a marking gauge (it also has a pivot to use the thing as a tramel and it has a spirit level) :

Ahhhh! The old Stanley "Odd Job" marking tool.
Sweet. Can I use it sometime?

I love my number one odd job. One of the reasons I found a shop apron I could stand was to have a place to carry it!.
