excellent!, that is a nice marking gauge and will be great to use for a long time.

Thanks! Well, some of the details should be called “new design opportunities”.

Thanks, Jim! Yes, the rosewood and brass strips make the gauge quite sturdy and hard to break. I made this one specifically for joinery work.

Absolutely gorgeous. Well done, you have made a tool to be really proud of and I am sure it will see many years of service and get wonderfully patinated with age.

Thanks for sharing

Now that is nice work

Nothing I like better than brass and wood. Great gauge.

Very nice job. Reminds me I have a marking gauge started down in the shop. Will have to finish it. Where did you find the knurled knobs?

Paul

Thanks for comments! The knurled knobs/screws are from Rockler. However, have to mention that they are of very poor quality and not brass 360 but some yellow alloy (compare to the threaded insert).

Will replace them when find good ones.

Tobias, Bryan, Paul, and David, thanks for your feedback! The ShopNotes issue with an article on the marking gauge has useful tips on working with hardwoods and brass, which is a great help.

What a real beauty!
