Having recently recognized a practical need for a marking gauge, and seeing the plentitude of designs on the web for such a device, I tried my hand at making my own.
The gauge fence is tigerwood (the wood species, NOT the golfer) and the rod is maple. A slice across the radius of the circle and a wing-nut clamp are all that is needed to fix the marking rod in place.
The cutter is a simple automotive washer of unusual shape I found in my many containers of nuts, bolts, etc.

Looks like the cutting wheel from a tubing or pipe cutter! Looks like a nice marking/scoring gauge! Good work!
