Description: |
|
This is a rather unusual siding gage. Rather than gaging off the previous
run of clapboards, this one requires the carpenter to lay out the spacing
on the studs. The tool is then driven into the studs at the marks, and
the clapbord hung from the tool. Seems like a lot of work, and not very
accurate.
