Richard Kell - Measuring & Marking Tools

[edd]

I thought I'd give this man a quick mention as some of his tools may be of interest to people here.

Richard Kell is an English engineer who designs, makes and sells his own range of sun-dials, measuring & marking tools and honing guides, amongst other things. His tools are mainly intended for woodworkers, but there are a few things he makes such as a plate-brass square, which could be useful for leatherworking.

I'm not in anyway affiliated with him except that I bought one of his honing guides a couple of years ago for my bench chisels and it remains one of my favourite things that I own. It's simple, accurate and beautifully made. He clearly works to a very high standard.

Also, check out the little Luthier planes on his website. I imagine they'd be excellent for skiving work, similar to those used by Japanese leatherworkers.
