Marking Gauge

Very nice work. I like it. Looks like you will get many years of use from a tool like that.

Very nice tool, an heirloom. Something that if taken care of will last a couple of lifetimes. jockmike.

Beutiful! I’ve always wanted to make one but never think about it when I have the time.

Great looking tool. Did you think of maybe routing a dado and putting a measuring tape on it to make setting it easier? Or would that even work? Just a thought, most store bought have a brass scale.

If I added a tape to it, I would still use a 6” steel ruler to check the dimensions.

I have been using that steel ruler for a long-long time, I do not think I would trust another method.

Good looking tool, Tony…and sharp too!

Great Tool. Guess we should line up and get our orders in.

Great looking marking tool – I bet it cuts a crisp line with a scalpel blade!

-- http://foldingrule.blogspot.com

It produces a fantasticly thin, crisp line even in white oak. and the blades only cost about 10c each – so they can be replaced without any pain (cost).

If anybody is intrested in this little gem, I can try and find the article information, or even produce a set of instructions.

Coooool Tool Tony!

Great craftsmanship. Brass end is made so that you can change “Scalpels” every so often?

Can you post the instructions. Or email them to me? Do not want any copyright problems here.

Very nice. I wanted to build one, but I could not find the brass parts, so I bought one for Rocklers. I think I would have been more satified if I had built it myself.

Good Job!

Hi Tony;
—-ah yes, the love of handmade hand tools!
Great marking tool you have shown us here. Now I’m curious as to the Fiddes supreme wax, so I guess I’ll have to go and spend some time asking Dr. Google.

Actually I just now came back from visiting your website and must say what an informative place you have there. I also found your link for Fiddes and so I need not ask the google man.

I also noticed the nice workbench you have built, which is quite impressive and I’m sure you find very useful….ha!; when will I stop, welllll….I also noticed that you offer your services to do reproductions of fine furniture and so I came across the Gate-Leg Card Table by George Hepplewhite. One of the tops of the time period….1700, and a challenge to reproduce.

Thank you Tony for sharing your woodworking with us and for choosing to be a part of us here at LJ.
GODSPEED,
Frank

We should all be bored like you Tony. I think that making beautiful tools is only half the fun: then you get to use them. Nice work.
