Do I? DO I? You bet I do.

A nice piece you have, but I can not help to confirm the maker of the maybe
Stanley. I am glad that you give it life, though, as trammels have paid many of
my bills over the years doing layout work at job two, both striking arcs and in
measures.

I don't know if you have had the need, but I find that ball-end 'points' are
also very useful. The last tool chest I reclaimed (side of the road snap-on
find. It was, to be blunt, a mess, the bottom twisted 30mm out of flat) I made a
base to fit the condition (solid second-hand oak and some commercial
glued/laminated/pressed sheet material), planing the support locations for good
bearing to match the base twist with a #4C and transferring the bolt holes with
the trammel. Set on the existing holes using the ball points, swap in the
sharps, and mark for bore. 60seconds with an 8" sweep yankee and #6 bit, and
good to go. Gotta have concentric points, though; not the off-center, rotate for
fine adjust type.
