    Before I talk about your marking gauge let me congratulate you on telling me what to do with my drill chuck key. That's the biggest hooray hooray I have seen in a long time. Your woodwork is beautiful, I admire it more than I can say.

    Wow-what a beauty!! I collect marking gauges and make them to sell and give as gifts. There were a few parts to your marking gauge that I will now add to my gauges. Stavros Gakos recommended your channel and I am so glad he did. Adding a metal ruler is a brilliant idea and will be adding that feature to my gauges. I just subscribed so I can catch up and see more of the upcoming videos you post. Thanks again!!

    Great ideas. I love the 6” scale addition. I just went out and found the one I purchased 34 years ago but only rarely usedI found that on the softer woods it wouldn’t scribe an even line. It would go over the hard rings and gouge in between. I’ll be making the modifications this afternoon.ibeen doing the pencil thing for many years after an old blacksmith showed me how to get a nice clean edge on soap stone using a grinder.thank you or the inspiration

    This video is how I found your channel; I needed to make a marking gauge. I ended up making one with a captured wedge because it is easier to operate with one hand.
    This gauge reminds me of an oar lock. The brass and walnut are beautiful combination of color and tone.

    Beautifully done as always! When using chip brushes for epoxy, take a good pair of shears and snip the very tip off. Especially when using thickened epoxy, the increased stiffness of the shorter bristles is helpful. Your improvisational skills are obviously great and kudos for the fine videos.

    Neat job! I like the old hacksaw blade as a scribe, use (bought) rotary blades myself. The stay sharp longer and tend not to raise op wood fibres as a blade does in some soft woods used across the grain.

    Very nice work ! I did Woodworking professionally for over 20 years and its been a hobby of mine for a little longer most definitely a pencil guy but. I switched to using mechanical ones years ago to give me a Consistent fine line to work to everytime i dont use anything fancy. Just a pack of Bic pencils i buy at walmart pretty cheaply almost all of the 40. Guys i worked with. Use them as well As they. Will fit into our scribes. And other marking tools without. Any modification i also like the plastic clip on them to hold them in my apron or shirt pockets. Even when i lean. Over something I’m working on I really liked that bench. You are using in the video another. Hobby / passion of mine is boating as ive owned 17 or 18 vessels over my lifetime so far. Both sail and power Wood and kFiberglass and i have Several thousands of miles under my belt including the Florida Keys, Bahamas , and the Intra Coastal Waterway from the Chesapeake Bay Maryland to Ft Lauderdale Florida ive been a fisherman , Scuba Diver since i was a teenager and have done almost all my own. Repairs and restorations myself including major refits and even engine work if needed of course having a machine shop do some of that when i needed That type of specialty work i did restore a 1964 Wooden Chris Craft cabin cruiser that was in. My family for the majority of its ownership

    That is one beautiful tool! Brass has always been my favorite metal to use for making anything more beautiful. In my kitchen we have a ceiling fan that had a beautiful ceramic and brass pull for the fan. When it is polished up it just gleams and makes the fan more beautiful. I wish I could afford some walnut to make some tools from as it is a gorgeous wood. Your marking gauge is proof of that!

    @DavidLindes Год назад +1

    One reason to prefer a scribe over a pencil line is that you're actually cutting some of the fibers of the wood... if you're then planning to chisel or something, this can be a nice way to get a nice clean edge. Of course, if that's not what you're doing...... ;)
    Anyway, nice work. I like it. The brass accents really make a difference, aesthetically!

    I was initially a bit sceptical about gluing the pieces together instead if mortising a hole into a single piece, but with those brass bits, and the glue, and the plate as well, it's probably stronger than a single piece, which could break along the grain anyway.
    And, damn, it looks nice!
