Rulers are tougher and tougher to read as we age. '\othing beats empirical measurements-the SD-6 SPIDER DIVIDER doesn't lie or mislead. \!athematically, the SD-6 SPIDER DIVIDER is a base six sectional divider with an additional leg to use as an outside caliper. This means you can divide your work by sixths, fifths, fourths, thirds or halves as well as tenths, ninths, and eighths, instantly. For example, to find tenths of a length, first find center (see fig. 5) and then divide each half into fifths. It takes seconds, and OUR SPECIAL SNEAK 1 02-DBDS

SD-6 SPIDER DIVIDER

there is absolutely no mathematics involved for your brain to trip over. Or, use it as a measuring stick to determine interior dimensions up to 32" in length.

Made from black anodized aluminum, precision milled on computer milling equipment, the SD-6 SPIDER DIVIDER is an exciting addition to any shop. The solid brass rivets are all counter bored and flush set, eliminating the possibility for dirt, dust and grime to interfere with the accuracy of the tool. And the tool locks to preserve your settings for multiple passes.

There is no slop in the tool and you will be thrilled with the grace this tool demonstrates during use. The effective capacity of the SD-6 SPIDER DIVIDER is 4" thru 27". The measuring capacity of the SD-6 SPIDER DIVIDER as an outside caliper is 32".

The SD-6 SPIDER DIVIDER is a terrific tool, guaranteed for life and is certainly destined to become one of your most popular tools. Don't delay, take advantage of our Special Sneak Preview price until December 20, 1995.

Form Follows ''Failure" and a Great Tool is Born! ecause all of our tools are guaranteed for life, we occasionally see examples of tool abuse that confound the � mind. The SA-3 BENT TIP AWL is the first example of an IIaccident" that a customer did not want fixed or replaced. Instead, he requested another tool just like his "accident" to give to a friend. The results are stunning and I'm sure you'll agree, the SA-3 BENT TIP AWL is an extraordinarily functional tool that you will be very excited to share with your friends!

After just a few moments of use, a bent tip awl makes enormous sense to those skilled in the crafts. Transferring curves, joint layout, and even starting screws are much easier with an angled point. Once you try tracing the profile of a knife hinge with the SA-3 BENT TIP AWL, rather than a regular awl, you will be "hooked" for life!

For many tight layout tasks, a straight scratch awl will simply not work. In order to reach deep, you need "head room" to achieve a sufficient angle of approach to scribe a line. This type of profile scribing almost always necessitates the use of a compromise situation. Until now.

The SA-3 BENT TIP AWL needs less than two inches of vertical space to scribe a perfect line. In many cases, you completely eliminate the awkward twist of the wrist that a traditional awl requires to function properly. A simple, uncomplicated wrist action means the tool is ergonomically friendly and provides greater control during the scribing task (see fig. �). More control of the tool contributes to greater accuracy that every good tool should be designed to accomplish.

The elegant simplicity of our scratch awl family continues with the introduction of the SA-3 BENT TIP AWL. It works efficiently, feels splendid in your palm, and will allow you to complete tasks that are typically rather awkward. Just consider how great the world would be if every accident led to a great discovery!

Made to the same exacting standards of the SA-2 SCRATCH AWL, and complete with a hand-turned Juara™ wood handle by master turner,Mark Stevens.

Who Said Paying Bills Isn't Fun? O.K. it's a stretch to claim any pen

will make paying bilis enioyable. But if one comes close, it's our exclusive Rosewood

Gentleman's Ball Point, because writing with this pen is a treat for the hand and a feast for the eyes.

The warmth of wood, properly sized for a man's hand, combined

with a silky smooth writing action,

is all any man

needs in a fine writing instrument. A simple twist of the wrist glides the standard refill from its highly polished Rosewood shell (there's no cap to iose). Watch for the smile as he removes the Gentleman's Ball Point fiom its velveteen sock and experiences the fading art of penmanship

with a fine and wonderfully crafted writing

instrument-and don't be surorised if he won't let vou borrow it!

The Gentleman's Ball Point is an extraordinary gift for Christmas, graduation day, anniversaries,

birthdays, or when you iust feel like giving the gift of quality. t wooilworker with a glfr made ftom wood!

[raftsmanship does not get more efficient than grabbing a tool off your tool wall for the job at hand. Nothing is more frustrating than having the steel hook come with it or fall to the floor amongst the dust and dead bugs. The TALON'M Pegboard Hook System is the only full line of toolholders that absolutely will not fall off your pegboard.

Molded from nylon, an extremely strong, unbreakable plastic that will not mar your tools, these toolholders perform dramatically better than the standard wire metal hook. Each toolholder securely clamps to your wall-mounted pegboard (pressure is against the back of the board around each of two adjacent holes).

Mountable in any direction on standard ¼" pegboards (or 1/s" with adapter) this is the most innovative line of toolholders for virtually all handtools. Don't delay, convert today!
