Making a 4" T-Bevel Gauge.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 апр 2019
- In this video Bob makes a mini T-Bevel gauge. In boat building there are many times the shipwright will need to measure and transfer unusual angles. One such circumstance is the measuring and the cutting of rolling bevels. A T-Bevel is the tool of choice and a small bevel is very handy to have available in your pocket to reach difficult areas. Small 4” T-Bevels are hard to find so in this project I’ll be showing you how to make a 4” T-Bevel.
“If you’re going to make it, make it beautiful.”

I followed your instructions and made several as gifts. They came out great! Thank you!
Bob, let me tell you I fully appreciate any body that makes their tools of their trade. I am a retired M.E., I started my carrier as as a tool and die maker in Worster Mass. My box was loaded with my personal tools, including a sine bar, and many specialty types of tools and fixtures. There is a great sence of pride. You are craftsmen in the 1st order. I enjoy your videos.
Bill Rees
Thank you Bill.
Thank you for this excellent video. No double speed playback, no background music.
I really liked this.
Very cool build!
Great project, looks really nice, will last forever. I've seen a lot of tools in boat building vids that are unique to the craft; looks like this is how they have developed. Thank you for sharing.
Love the way, polished brass and oiled walnut go together,, really made for each other.
Yup. Be doing this right after I finish my pocket mortise gauge. Love pocket layout tools.
Bob, I had initially passed on this video as well, but after I passed on the Awl build video and saw the error of my ways, I came back here. Once again, a great build and such a beautiful tool. DD
Thank you!! That is a beautiful piece, and you’ve made it very ‘approachable’ to make - I’ll definitely be trying it!
Thank you so much
Your tool making videos are some of the best I've seen. Would love to see more of those, even if I never finish my small boat project.
Definitely an artist and craftsman at work here. Beautiful tool. Thank you for sharing.
With every tool video you make I am a bigger fan. I love your approach. One of my favourite channels! Thank you so much!
I know what you mean about not finding one you like,this one Is a great idea,loved the handle plus it's great to see you make it with basic tools.great vid👌
Awesome craftsmanship and aesthetically pleasing as well. Thanks for sharing!
I am a hand tool wood worker. I've very much enjoyed these videos. I might start making my own tools.
Inspirational Bob. If you have the time and money, there is a very good boat show here in Tasmania in around February next year. Cheers,Rob.
That is a great looking piece, now I need to go to the shop and follow your inspiration.
Another Beautiful job
Great job, beautiful tool
That's cool. I'm putting this on my list of things to try.
Brilliant👏👏
Very stylish, chic and the esthetics are absolutely amazing. A real heirloom tool anyone would just love to inherit.
Bob, mini bevel gauge 1.0 in the books, like you I learned a lot and I am sure that mini bevel gauge 2.0 will be much better!
Awesome!
I’m not much on the boat building but you to making is exquisite but the tool makingIs what I enjoy
Love the tool making videos!
Looks very nice! Thank you.
I just love your tool making vids... Thanks...
That was great thanks. Another project added to the list, but probably sooner rather than later.
Stunning.
mannn i love your work and the way that u work, u r so brilliant
Really like all the tool making video’s
Thanks Chris
You do a very nice job on making your tools. Very professional!
Thank you!
i just discovered your channel ! WOW great channel , I especially like the tool making segments !! How about making a Krenov style hand plane ? I have never built a boat, but I am a huge fan of wooden boats
Nice wood handle and good looking T-Bevel gauge; you are in the realm of knife making. People that make knives say that the hardest part is to make the handle.
Your handles has all of the features of a quality knife, good looking wood, brass trimming and brass rivets.
As a shipwright I have need for very small bevels, about 2”, but you cannot buy these. I use pieces of lumber banding riveted together tight enough to stay but loose enough to move. They work well and are no great loss is lost or stolen.
"Are there any tools you would like to see me make ?" you asked....
Well actually yes I would. There are a few things that your design flare could make beautiful.
1. I would love to see your take on a plane. A chamfer plane with the 90° notch taken out of the base running horizontally would be nice, or one with an inward curved base, for smoothing round objects.
2. A saw. A coping saw or a gentleman's saw is a thing that could be made beautiful, but never seems to be.
3. A chisel. Something where the handle has combined woods, shaped without using a lathe, and honed to perfection, but with an unusual shape - a rounded end, or a "v" shape.
4. Scraper cards, a set of them, made in different shapes, with different angles and various circular edges, for getting in different spaces. They serve a very useful purpose but look plain, dull and boring - what could you do to enliven them but still keep the functionality intact.
5. A mallet. A fully functioning hammer but made with beauty in mind as well as force. A nice carvers mallet with a carving on the top of the round head, possibly your design logo or your initials, or a saying - something that makes it stand out as yours.
I hope these suggestions have given you some ideas and you could make at least one of them, if not all, as I really enjoy watching you make tools. You take such great care and they always look so very beautiful and totally professional when done, not like virtually every other video maker who "makes" their tools.
Nice! I'd like to see a sliding bevel with the I.J. Robinson locking mechanism. Can't find it anywhere on youtube.
That's nice. I would use epoxy instead of superglue. Also, I would have put a countersink in the brass and hammered those brass pins over before filing them down. Both those might be unnecessary, but for something this nice, I don't think it would hurt.
Really enjoying your videos for the second time. Lots to pickup here for the Fenwick Williams catboat I am restoring. I'm hoping to make my own tools as well and wondering if you have a good source for your brass and bronze stock? I'm going to try melting some lead, brass, copper and aluminum for some parts for the boat. But hope to find a source for bronze and brass rod stock. Any recommendations? Thanks.
Enjoying your videos, panel gauge as a suggested tool
Great show, I love your channel and follow closely. I was wondering if you would make a round chisel mallet like I see you guys use for removing unwanted wood from various projects. Your thoughts on wood selection and preparation would be appreciated, I know some wood is burned on the outside to season or temper the inside to make it harder and ultimately more durable. Thanks.
I’ll but it on the list.
O. M. G. 😜👍
The art of tool building . . .
Good one! I like it.
Great job, I enjoyed your project video.
I think you would be well served with a drill press.
JIM
Thanks,Yes, of course. You can see me using my drill press at 1:59. Glad you enjoyed watching.
Cheers
I wish I were your grandson. Think of inheriting such knowledge and tools 🛠
Wow, thanks
Beautiful t-bevel. Maybe a wood bodied groove plane for the planking rabbit? Sideways pivoting blade would make it all the more useful for the rolling bevel needed to get the V-bottom of the rabbit at its required pitch for the differing angle needed at the rabbit. A 85° to 90° blade edge should work. Of course a rabbiting (rebate) plane should serve just as well, and would be useful for other rabbit (rebate (England word same as rabbit here in the states)) needs.
Correct Rebate is spelled "rabbet" here pronounce the same as rabbit.
@@TheArtofBoatBuilding
Thanks, I guess auto correct got me there, but hey, potater/pototer, right?
any kind of plane would be nice
Very cool! How about some dividers? And a hinged ruler?
Thanks Casey, Great minds as they say, A pair of Dividers is the next tool I'm building.
Nice
But you didn't put your emblem/mark on it?!
:( Sad DiResta
Have you thought about making a caulking mallet?
Mack McKinney Yes, there is one coming!
How about a ruler stop.
Didn’t notice, did you put your tool mark on it? Nice job on the tool and video.
I didn’t have my stamping tool at the time if this video. I have since added it.
Thanks for watching!
very very nice! i've got an old (20+) year old hunk of cocobolo I might just slice off a piece of and do this myself. may I ask why you apparently didn't you countersink peen the brass pins before filing and polishing? the CA glue definitely works, and isn't lead bearing by any stretch, just curious...
Peening the pins is a good idea if the material that it is binding is as hard or harder than the brass pins. The black walnut I was using is a tad softer so it would be difficult to get a good mushroom head to form. The Janka scale (measure wood hardness) for cocobolo is 2960, black walnut is 1010 so the cocobolo is almost 3 time harder. You'll have not problem countersinking and peening the brass. Thanks Bo!
Thank you for your video! It looks as if the slot for the blade is intentionally off center. If that is true, and not just an optical illusion, what is the reason for it?
Hi AJ, The slot is centered. Must be, as you say an optical illusion.
Thanks for watching!
How about a router lift. I’ve seen some designs on the internet but you could probably improve on them.
Where did you get the brass hardware?
Cramer Kitzerow basic materials from my local Ace Hardware.
👏👏👏👍
can i have a list of tools that use please
A list of tools I've made? Or a list of tool needed to build the T-Bevel? A list of all my tools would be way to difficult to but together.
Thanks for watching!
Hello beautiful piece of work, would you be willing to make one for sale just like the thin one you made in video,if so interested thanks
Hi Mike,
I would love to make tools for sale. However, I just don't have the time. I've had several followers that have made a T-Bevel from my video plans. If you're interested I can give you a contact that may be interested in building you one. If so email me (contact is in the about tab on channel page) and I'll connect you.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Cheers,
Bob
Potential homemade tools: Lapstrake clamp, parallel clamp, varoius specialty planes, etc.
David Heal thanks for the suggestions I’ll put them on the list. I currently working on a design for a compass plane.
Beautiful tool, but looks like that shop door could use a seal or something. Rats could get in there!
Would like to see u make a wooden plane james krenov plane
Next tool build will be a plane. Stay tuned!
