Historic #1 Odd-Job |
Now also available in a larger size
Made from 1888 to the early 1930's, and rediscovered by Garrett Wade, the Odd-Job will provoke admiring glances. It's an inside mitre and try square, a depth gauge, a scribing tool for arcs and circles, a T-square, a depth marking scribe (excellent for marking out mortises), a plumb level, and a rule. Made of solid brass and steel, and carefully machined on all sides. Hardwood Rules are brass-bound and graduated in inches and metric units.
The Standard Odd Job has been available from Garrett Wade for about 20 years. Now we have a new larger size - with more impressive heft and greater utility (available for shipment about mid March). The Standard Odd Job is 4" long and comes with a 6" Rule, inches on one side and metric on the other. A 12" Rule is available in addition. The Jumbo Odd Job is 5-3/4" long - 43% longer and comes with the 12" Rule, with an 18" Rule available in addition. All Maple/Brass Rules are excellent woodworking tools used alone.

| This is a terrific tool! Besides a pencil, a chuck key, and a Sharpie this is what I carry in my 'bib overalls' as I head for the shop! Indispensable friend for the woodworker. Get acquainted! |

| Measuring a 45 |
| Reviewed By: |
Jim (Atlanta , GA) |
| "Lastly there seems to be no way to capture a 45 with the tool on a counter trim edge." Remove the ruler and place it against the two flats along long edge. You will have to hold it, but you will get a true 45. This is a very handy tool and a great 'quick' set-up tool. The ruler does need trimming to a precise 6" so you can measure off both ends of the ruler (or to the closest cm if using metric).
