how could people dislike this I mean you took the time to make home made dowels and you even put a price tag on them thanks for the vid. glad so many people have a sense of humor
Was watching your newer videos, love them all, till I saw these old stuff, this is wayyyyyyy better than the new ones, love the jokes, like entertainment and learning at the same time. The new videos are also great, just too much learning and too serious, almost like I'm in Ben Stein's shop class…please relax again or do 2 channels.
I'm glad you went pretty in-depth with this video. I saw the shorter version but this was better. For those of us that can't make even a single marking gauge in as much as 3 minutes, unlike Bob Trollsky down there who's probably been practicing his marking gauge making skills like my friend practices breaking down his Army issued guns, we can appreciate you taking the time to inform us. I bet ol' Bob's wife, rather EX-wife, wished he could stretch 3 minutes into 15 minutes.
One of the first tools I will be making in my new "workshop". Read: back porch. One day, I tell ya, ONE DAY, I will get my actual workshop built. Just need some extra time.. I love all your videos. Thanks for not only teaching us about what to do, but also doing it in an entertaining way. You should have your own tv show. I'd watch it.
Another thing you can do to make your wood threads last longer is soak them in CA glue. Just make sure the CA is fully cured before putting the bolt back in.
Hey Stumpy, glad I found ya'. I like your format (the old western show music switch-overs remind me of the shows I'd watch as a kid...How did ya' ever/ ah, forget it). Gotta' question tho, I couldn't figure why you said to make sure to put "two nails" in the two planed rounds? I looped this segment, I musta' missed somethin. I was thinkin' one would drill both rounds with the same hole and put a nail thru both of them. I'm making one. There's so many ways one can use such that's for sure...Anybody?
12:13 I had a hard time seeing what was happening with the mortising gauge. At the time stamp I reference you just need to look at what he's got there. It went by so fast I didn't see it even after re-watching it, and if you look close you'll get it. You mention drilling one hole through both planed rounds. I am not sure what you meant but that gave me an idea. Drill holes through the back-end of the two rounds (opposite the marking nails) that will let you set the distance between them! this way you could easily set the width of the mortise super simply by putting a pin in a given combination of holes. And if you're gonna do that, why not also put holes to set the depth of the mortise!?! I think it needs to be built for proof of concept but it seems like it would work!
Don't pay attention to the haters Stumpy your a funny man. I love it. You make me laugh. Any idiot can do a video but it takes a special idio.....well you know what I mean. Keep it up.
Thanks Stumpy! Going to make a couple of these gauges to go with the one I already have. Love the old timey videos you are making. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the video , and all the others . Just one point , and I think I have spotted the mistake in several presentations : the marked line is PARALLEL to the edge not perpendicular Perpendicular is at 90 deg to the datum edge via. the mark you would set out with a trisquare
I've been thinking of making a marking gauge from cheap dial calipers. In the machine shop we use them for scribing steel with just the jaws. Wish someone would take a pair and cut it down so I could copy. The famous HarborFrieght makes a pair that are fractional and decimal for like$10
Nice new series of episodes. I think I am going to be waiting for these shows. I bought a marking gauge from HF. Does the job and was cheap but I think to make your own would make more sense. Thanks Stump!
Great info, and have given me the courage to make my own instead of buying one for 40.00. It would of been helpful to show them finished at the beginning. Have you done much inlaying? Seems like that would be another great set of tools to make after this.
Great video. Great content. Especially love when your using a pencil to mark a marking tool in a kinda anti-pencil marking tool making miniseries.. lol. 👍
I used a small dull chisel as a teen....”let the bloodletting begin!” ....>.......WAIT JUST A DAGGON MINUET! Didn’t you say Pappy swam through the icy coastal waters during the American Revolution with a saw clenched between his teeth cutting holes in the undersides of British naval ships thereby sinking the ENTIRE British Armada? I am beginning to question the veracity of one or two of your family historical references...such as your 140-odd year old Pappy....though that WOULD EXPLAIN how he had time to assemble such an impressive lot of tools! ..okay...go on....I’m listening..
Your tools and methods make sense but you would do very well to lighten up on the lame attempts at comedy relief, friend. Just inform your public and concentrate on that endeavor. Leave the stand-up and cutesy nonsense to the pros........
There are hundreds of videos out there just as you describe. I prefer to do my own thing, be who I am and make something different. It's not for everybody, but that's fine.
I prefer his attempt at comedy, sure not all of his jokes are good but they bring his personality to the video and i think that's awesome. Stumpy don't listen to this scrub, keep doing what your doing and brush the haters off.
I think his name, "Stumpy Nubs," is kind of warning and I think he does have a natural gift for humor that should be encouraged and developed. Also, the quality of the video is excellent (well worth the price).
Those videos are a treasure, James. Never delete them!

Made one today, used a plane to fit the tenon perfectly. Hand tools are awesome

Stumpy those are sum impressive double pole gauges.
I am impressed. Well done.
Tons of good info packed in there!
Don't pay attention to the haters Stumpy your a funny man. I love it. You make me laugh. Any idiot can do a video but it takes a special idio.....well you know what I mean. Keep it up.
I'm going to have to re-watch this one. Can't wait for episode 3. Thanks for sharing.
This is the end all and be all on making a simple marking gauge. Great video. Waiting for the next.
Absolutely fantastic video thanks
Thanks, Brian!
Thanks Stumpy! Going to make a couple of these gauges to go with the one I already have.

im gonna try to make one of these marking gauges. thanks stumpy!
That's a good tip! Thanks!
Great video. Great content. Especially love when your using a pencil to mark a marking tool in a kinda anti-pencil marking tool making miniseries.. lol. 👍
I'm glad you caught that little hidden joke in there! :)
Great video, lots of info to take in!
I made one with a tapered head wood screw on the end of the pole and filed the screw head till it was sharp. that's my blade
Can I use a nail as a pin? what do you recommend?
super video. Thanks, Stumpy
Another great video
If you are an amateur wood worker without much experience like me you won't understand half of how to do things. Because the details are not there.
Nice video thanks.
The only part I find a little ridicules is you using a manual drill. :)
Stumpy Nubs You sure you're not Canadian?
very nice
I just understand why i don't find any old tool on the fleamarket :-)

FINE QULITY
There's always ebay!
A 3 minute video stretched to15.
You can make six marking gauges in 3 minutes? AMAZING!
Stumpy Nubs lol

without the lame humor I would not be such a fan! Humor is dangerous, not all people share similar tastes, but you have a loyal following.
