Not a problem mate. Right answer., Steve, glad you still have some working, craftsman, tools., Unfortunaly due to moving around, and water underthe bridge, I have very few left but on some projects I still use them, was just using a scribe , hand saw and wooden block plane on a small project the other day, must be over 80 years old, often use chisels and wooden malate of my dad's.
