Project Information

Posting this early because I will be out of town for a couple weeks. This is the gauge I made for JordanP, padauk and poplar. Iron is made from a hex key. If I were to do anything different, I would cut the round mortise then glue on the padauk with just a small hole for the iron but live and learn. The threaded insert ties the mortise and tenon together (they are also glued). It worked like a dream. Will mark to a depth of about 2.5". Hope you enjoy it Jordan.

Rick, I agree with Stan in the above post. Very original design. I really like your blade idea.

Indeed I was awe struck with the design and with the edge on that blade.. I have used it twice so far, and it now has taken the place of my other marking gauges i had made for myself. well done rick
