Something of a gloat
I was flipping the pages in a book, "HOW TO WORK WITH TOOLS and WOOD", published by Stanley Tools in 1942.
I ran across a section showing drill holes with brace. Having a box full of 13 Irwin Bits and a Bell System's brace, I was interested.
I went on line and for some reason ended up on Jim Bode's site. I immediately stumbled across a listing for a Stanley Bit Gage.
I got carried away and I now have a Stanley Bit Gage coming.
I am delighted. I have made wooden blocks and other "Rube Goldberg" devices to set hole depths.
I can't wait to get it. :p
