Fist, let me say that I was a long time Badger Ponder, and this is my first post on sawmill creek. greetings to all
Joseph Marples is apparently not the same company as the one making the blue handled chisels, et. al. Its a smaller operation that makes among other things, some nice looking tools in a line they call "trial 1". I am wondering in particular about the mortise gauge. (see this site http://www.marples.co.uk/page12.html).
Anyone familiar with this line: is it worth pursuing? I have yet to find a source in the US/is it worth having it shipped from UK?
Again, glad to have found a new place to hang out.
