Unique Folding Sawhorse

A new patented sawhorse that folds down in four simple operations to E'x8"x42" for car trunk transportation or storage is being placed on the market by the Unique Tool Products Company, 4632 N. Clark Street. Chicago, I1l. In its knockeddown form it occupies less than one-quarter of the space that is required by the conventional type of sawhorse. It is assembled with 14 gauge steel hardware which is cadmium plated to prevent rusting. It presents the usual 7'x6'x42" clear white pine top and a 9"x36' tool tray. All hardware is out of the way so there is no chance of nicking the saw or other tools. It is called the "Unique Fold-Horse" and will be sold through jobbers. Complete information and prices may be had by writing direct to the manufacturer.

New Tree and Log Marking Hammer

A new wood identification hammer for marking either standing trees or felled logs with symbols has been developed by Ng* Method Steel Stamp, fnc., 147 Jor. Campau Street, Detroit 7, Mich. Intended primarily for use by timber cruisers and inspectors, it can be used in any woodworking activity in which stock must be identified.

The long length of the tempered steel head, which is 12 inches over all, makes it possible to mark the ends of irregularly piled logs, without injuring the hands, and the l6-inch-long hickory handle gives sufficient leverage so that a single stroke sinks the marking character deep into the wood. The flatface character on each end of the hammer gives a deep, broad, lasting impression. The steel head is heat treated and tempered to prevent the steel from chipping or splitting under hard service. The head of the marking hammer can be engraved with any letter or speciallv designed character.
