Measuring Comparator (465

Here is a rather unique hot iron measuring tool. It does what compass-dividers do ... but ... in different way.  It also has a longer measurement range.

Tennon and Hole Go-NoGo Gage (318)

I am pretty sure this custom made tool is a hot-iron tennon and hole go-no-go guage. If you are making a gate, railing or fence with a lot of tenon connections, this would be pretty handy.  The tennon and hole size is about 3/8 inch.
