I made this marking guage with the scraps from the hammer project, so again, Ash and Purpleheart. The metal is Aluminum which I brushed with my orbital sander. This has the same grain rasier and then poly. It can use an Xacto blade or length of drafting lead.

Very impressive VT. I really like seeing scraps used this way. Terrific piece and thanks for sharing.

Nicely done! I’ve been wanting to make one of those…something else on my list of things to make.

Great job VT. Another of those tools I’ve collected plans for but never built.

Thanks for showing it.

Were you working from plans or is this of your own design. It is a wonderful tool.

The plans came from last year’s Better Homes and Gardens annual woodworking thing on shop storage and tools. BH&G is the publisher of one of the popular woodworking magazines, I just can’t think which one it is off the top of my head.

Hi VTWoody,
That looks great. I love the contrast with the different woods and the aluminum. I just posted a slicing gauge that I made but I would love to try this one. I will have to search out those plans. Nice job.
