WTS Stock Escutcheon

[Nathaniel Myers]

These are blanks machined from 1018. I am having another batch made and am hoping some of the members who maybe do their own stock work would be interested.

I am running this like a "Group Buy" that is, if we get a high enough qty the price goes down for everyone.

For Guild Members price is $22 ea up to 24 pcs. If I get 25 pcs ordered then our price Will drop to $13 ea.

They are made for Brownells Mauser screws, the head is a very close fit.

Nathaniel,
Can you arrange to have inletting gages( similar to "butt gage)) made up?

Mike,

Do you have a picture of what you would want? I am by no means a stock maker, but what stock work I have done, I always use the part I am inletting to do the actual inletting. I know at the Colorado School of Trades when I was there, the older gentleman in Stocks had a Kennedy box full of little forms and gauges and what not for stock work. Unfortunately, I am not very, shall we say, gifted, when it comes to wood work!

Nathaniel,
I don't have a picture, but a "butt gage", is like a chisel for letting in butts (door hinges) before they were all pre-hung. It has 3 edges The precise size as the standard butt. It would be located on the door edge( or frame), and hit with a hammer, cutting the outline of the butt, and to the depth of the thickness of the butt. All you had to do, then, was clean out the waste with a chisel. What I'm asking about would be similar, but in the shape of the escutcheon and sized to cut an ellipse the size necessary to let it in, once the waste is removed.
