This marking gauge is based on a photo I found on the internet. The body is walnut with a natural danish oil finish, the beam is maple and the wedge is pine. The beam slides through a mortise in the body and is locked in place by a captured wedge which rides in a tapered mortise. The marking pin is a sharpened piece of 6 penny finish nail. -- http://www.plankandplane.com

Very slick! Do you find this design as easy to set as a more modern version with thumb screw?

I’ve been needing a marking gauge and never even thought to make one. I think I’ll give it a try out of some hard maple I have laying around. Thanks for the inspiration!
