Panel Gauge in Mahogany and Brass

Good Job! Nothing like using or making hand tools. And this gives me an idea… My son loves making circles with my protractor. I bet I could rig up something similar to what you have here, only probably not as nice.

this is a wonderful panel gauge. I made one years ago from scrap, and it works, but a panel guage as beautiful as this, would make the job sooo much easier on the eyes! Great job!!

This is stunning! Great work!

Gorgeous! I’m wondering why you didn’t add a brass face to the slider. You’re clearly skilled in brasswork and I’m certain you had a reason. Maybe aesthetic? Maybe that feel of wood on wood? It’s glorious.

Thanks everyone, for your encouragement. Bertha: the brass on the face is there, it just isn’t obvious. See http://tshead.zenfolio.com/p639011399 for some additional images.

Many thanks,

Great project. As a fellow Hand Tool School member it’s cool to see how other members constructed their projects. I just finished up my Roubo build so this is coming up on the agenda. Great work
