Thread: A Dovetail Marker Batch

My vote is for the "latest" Option 04 with the Optional Extra.

Cheers

Forget the 45 degrees - what on earth are you going to use it for? Just have one that has squared legs at each end. As I pointed out earlier, it could be used interchangeably for box joints.

One like this also is very handy as a saddle square for marking lines around sides.

(do I get a designer's fee?)

I'd like a set please. I don't know enough about dovetails to vote, so will go with the popular choice. Would also like the extra set too.

TS, option 4 for me.

Regarding the saddle square comments, I have a Lee Valley saddle square and it would have to be one of the handiest and most used tools I have, especially when cutting.

I'm in if their is still room - will go with the group opinion

Thanks Helmut.
I'll go for option 5 - can't see that I'll need the extra one.
I also won't be hand cutting any finger joints or box joints so won't need the optional 90/45 either.
I really appreciate your time on this Helmut.
Kind regards
SG

Helmut,

Like SG I'll also go for option 5 - I can't see that I'll need the extra one or the 90/45.

Thanks for taking the time to do this
Geoff

Seems the 45degree one isnt that popular - I'd be happy with whatever Opt seems the most popular

But, would like to get some idea of cost so I can budget.....

Helmut

my vote is for a set of 3

1/4 – 1/5 which is 14° – 11.3°
1/6 – 1/8 which is 9.5° – 8.1°
90° saddle

there doesn't seem to be enough difference between 1/6 (9.5°), 1/7 (8.1°), 1/8 (7.1°), 1/9 (6.3°) to justify all four.

Optional Saddle Sqaure

After some thought this will be simple a saddle square, this means no 45º. If you would like this option please state so.

UNDECIDED

If you are listed in the undecided then you need to post back with a choice, there is no "popular choice" as members will split down the middle between the two choices.

Ian - Unfortunately your only choice is to go with Option 4, if you are interested post back.

Okay, so put me down as option 5, with a saddle square.

Ah TS decisions...decisions.

Option 4 with optional square please.

Mike
