Joseph Marples tools at The Best Things
Joseph Marples Squares, Bevels, and Marking Gauges

Joseph Marples is one of the only remaining family owned Sheffield tool makers that can trace its lineage back to the 19th Century. Related to the same family of Marples that included William Marples and Robert Marples, this was a family that left a big mark on Sheffield tool making. Today, Joseph Marples is still producing tools with the same dedication to quality that was once synonomous with Sheffield made. No other company today is making tools that are as close to classic 19th Century Sheffield joiner's tools than Joseph Marples. Joseph Marples offers some tools in a few different grades. With the exception of marking gauges, where we offer some beech models, we only stock the highest grade if there is a choice.
