I picked up a interesting marking gauge yesterday. Double arm with a rectangular wedge that tightens the arms. First time I've seen one like it.

"Lemme see, it is winter here in Maine and furniture commissions have dried up. No more house raising until spring. I think I will spend some time making that scriber that I needed. It is a small project and I can work on it right here in front of the fire. Now where are those walnut scraps..."
