This is a quick and easy measuring gauge that I use for trimming and fitting stock to final dimension. It is made of two thin strips of hardwood (in this case cherry) held in position with a spring binder clamp. I basically lightly loosen the clip and slide the strips tight against the space where a piece of trim is being fitted. I then transfer this dimension to the table saw or chop saw. This is often better than using a measuring tape. Sometimes I will add the thickness of a card or folded piece of paper to “spring” the piece for a tight fit or hone in on the dimension with several cuts. I keep this close by on my bench with several different lengths for various sized openings.
Simple pieces make-up this gauge. Two thin strips of wood and a spring binder clip.
