Lee Valley Scratch Awl
Most scratch awls have a round handle, which makes it easy for them to roll off a bench. We designed this one with a 3" long hardwood handle with two flats to ensure it does not go anywhere when you lay it down.

Hardened to Rc55, the high-carbon steel blade does not dull quickly.
Made in Canada.

Rob Cosman Shawn Shim Dovetail Offset Tool 3/4
This is the smaller of the two Shawn Shims that Rob offers.
One of the most difficult tasks in hand cutting dovetails is accurately transferring the tails and precisely sawing the pins. Rob's improved method of transferring tails to the pin board by offsetting the tailboard by the thickness of the saw kerf takes all the guess work out of where to saw.
Offsetting by the exact thickness can...
Veritas 14° Dovetail Saddle Marker (1:4)
This new 14° marker is designed to approximate a 1:4 ratio, for those who prefer this angle when working in thinner stock, as it not only provides stronger material interlock than traditional ratio angles but produces a slightly exaggerated dovetail joint that many find attractive.
The long legs ensure accurate registration. Also, much like the Veritas saddle square they are based on, they allow...

One side is 1 in 6 (1:6 rake) for laying out softwood dovetails,...
Veritas Saddle Square
Veritas Small Saddle Square - Transferring a line from one surface to another with a small square is not easy. Our saddle square allows you to scribe two perpendicular surfaces at one time. But, more importantly, it allows you to pick up on a line already scribed & accurately transfer it to another perpendicular face. With 1 1/4" (32mm) & 2 1/4" (57mm) inside legs, it can wrap a...

Crucible Sliding Bevel
For some woodworkers – particularly chairmakers – a small sliding bevel that locks tightly is an essential tool. Most inexpensive sliding bevels can be knocked off their settings with little effort, and the results can be a disaster. Because sliding bevels guide most of the joinery in a chair, being off by 1° or 2° can ruin a workpiece.
The Crucible Sliding Bevel is designed...

Veritas Metric Bevel Setters
A sliding bevel is an excellent tool for transferring angles but not for reading them. This bevel setter allows you to set specific angles (from 0° to 60° in 1/2° increments) on a sliding bevel or a workpiece and to read angles already set. Both functions are useful for dovetailing, for machine set-up, for polygon work, or for accurately fitting a piece in a restricted location. Common dovetail...

Red Rose Reproductions Dividers
These dividers were designed with a few key objectives in mind. First, they needed to have the ability to be quickly adjusted. Many dividers are fitted with thumb screws used to open and close the arms. This method is fine for some tasks, but falls short when rapid adjustments are needed, such as when using with the sector where adjustments are frequent and over a large range. These are fitted...

Red Rose Reproductions dividers can now be converted to a compass for drawing arcs and circles using the compass attachment. To convert, one of the points is unscrewed from the dividers and replaced with the mounting bracket and screw. The second screw secures a wooden pencil in place.

Crucible Design Curves
While a compass and straightedge can design simple pieces of furniture, you also need curves that have a varying radius to draw smooth shapes that connect three or four points – the accelerating curves that give motion and life to furniture.
The tools for these important curves are commonly called French curves or Burmester curves. And they are the starting (and ending) point for any designer...
