Those with long memories may remember this.

I bought it along with a number of other hand tools which I have subsequently restored over the last year. But I actually bought the job lot on the basis of it containing this. My idea was to make a lathe Tool Height Setting Gauge from it loosely based on the GH Thomas example which is marketed as a kit by Hemingway Kits.

A fellow parish councillor recently gave me a few pieces of steel one of which was perfect for making the two height setting arms.

I have a second ‘arm’ partially made which I will finish off at some point. Finished off with a nice nickel silver thumb screw it works perfectly.
