Hello
Over the weekend I was given a few woodworking tools by a friend of ours - Wendell and his wife are selling their farm, and planning to move to town. Wendell wasn't a woodworker, but had a few tools, and I "inherited" some of them.
Nothing fancy or expensive, but they will be worker tools I hope.
There is a Stanley #165 marking guage - made from a "blond" wood - maple, birch or similar. It has a coat of "varnish" over the scriber bar and the head. It appears to be stuck tight - won't move - I am guessing from humidity.
Any suggestions on what I can do as a long term solution for keeping the guage in working order?
THanks
Jim
