Greetings to all!!  Yes, I'm new to this list and yes I did do some
lurking before joining.  I come not from the age of Norm but from the
age of James (Krenov that is).  Started making most of my own tools
nearly 20 years ago.  I'm now at the point where my In-Laws wonder why I
even bother turning on the lights when working.

Several years ago I inherited a number of tools from two working
carpenters in the San Francisco area.  All tools are from the late
1800's & turn of the century.  Thanks to the work of many of you I have
been able to type & date most of them.  Cleaning and using them has been
a joy.  I am just now getting to making use of some of the smaller
items. At present I am trying to figure out exactly how the #95 butt
gauge was used.  Mine is a "Type 2" so it couldn't be used as a sm.
square.  If anyone can enlighten me, please do.

I'm also looking for type study information on the Stanley #46.  I've
got two, one of which I believe dates to 1880-1884.  It seems like all
the interest is in the #45 with little if any attention paid to the #46.

Thanks.
Bruce Thacker
