Mystery Maker?
During last week’s workshop Make A Set of Roubo Squares (more about that soon) one of the tools I used fairly regularly was this Roubo-esque and very stout exquisite palm-sized square. I vaguely recall it being in a box lot of stuff I bought at a Donnelly auction several years ago but that could be a false memory.
I have not been able to identify the tool maker but I do not consider myself to be well-versed in that world. The blade is stamped “Anderson” in script. It is a fine tool with a lot of heft, sitting in the apron pocket like a brick.
Anyone have an idea?
Looks like Wayne Anderson, the plane maker. See this blog entry:

I think it was Wayne Anderson who mostly makes planes. His website is a bit confusing but I do see a square that looks like yours.
