Stanley’s first mitre box

I love old miter boxes

For those of us that value such things, this is a great resource on an important, but little-discussed box. So glad this information is preserved for the ages. Great job.

Johnny, thanks for the continued support.

For some reason, I have three Stanley miter boxes. Still looking for the "perfect" one. All are used. Once setup at a perfect angle, I just leave it that way. 22.5, 45, 90.

Ismail, only three mitre boxes? You need to get more. Thanks for the comment.

I have one with a 1904 patent date but I don’t know how old it is

Fascinating - little changes ove the years - this: www.drapertools.com/product/88192/Precision-Mitre-Saw-550mm is a current model of a hand mitre saw here in the UK (I have had the self-same one for about 35 years . . . the only difference being the price I paid!)

Rob, that looks like descendant of the Ulmia line of cast mitre boxes. I think Jorgensen had a similar model. Thanks for viewing the video.
