Stumpy Brass Dovetail Hammer

[Derek Cohen (Perth Oz)]

Hi Bern

You have done some fine work. Well done.

Now please do not take this the wrong way (this is really fascinating to me) - I notice that you give David Barron credit again for a dovetail marker and for a cutting gauge design. The thing is that the cutting gauge was first designed and sold by WoodJoy Tools (USA) .

I built a copy in 2006 ...

The latest version by WoodJoy is this ..

Hamilton Tools in Canada now offer one similar ...

The dovetail gauge you built also needs no apology to David, and none to me either (I'm only too happy for anyone to use the designs on my website as long as it it is non-commercial). It's all just a bit of fun. I built these many years ago ..

That's a WoodJoy dovetail marker sandwiched between two of mine, one infilled and the other wood, both dovetailed ...

I built these in 2008 ...

Beautiful work Derek and Rod. I guess we are all guilty of copying in one form or another .
