Here is a gauge that I made for the gauge swap. I hand forged the Damascus steel for the blade. The body is tiger maple, the beam is zebra wood and the wedges are cherry. This was sent to Hammerthumb and I believe he likes it. -- Superdav "No matter where you go - there you are." http://chiselandforge.com | |||||||

A beauty thats the truth!
Sure, makin’ a wooden marking gauge wasn’t enough….
You had to go and forge Damascus steel!!! ;^)
A treasure to be used and admired for years to come.
