Although it is still in storage, I have a Carpenter's Set No 2 that I had been previously working on. I hope to get it unpacked soon and start completing the fill. Here are the two previously posted images.

Re: Carpenter Set No. 2
I was at the Show of Show last month unpacking my wares on set-up day, looked over at my neighbor's table and spied this gem. Just as called for in the Carpenter Set No 2 contents label:
Bag, Canvas, Nail, Depth 13 3/4", Depth 7 1/8"
The bag matches perfectly. When opened up the diameter is at 7 1/8". I have searched for one for several years.

Re: Carpenter Set No. 2
Oz,
That actually looks like it might be an easier set to complete than the Number 1

Re: Carpenter Set No. 2
Fewer items to find and very common stuff except the Nail Bags, and of course you need two of those.

Re: Carpenter Set No. 2
Here is a label for a Carpenter Set No. 2 posted on the US Militaria Forum. It lists the same materials, but is from a different manufacturer. The case is pretty much the same as mine.

Re: Carpenter Set No. 2
Rapid progress. A few more things to find, and the saw is not correct. I have to research that first.
