  1. Marking Gauge for 489tad Gaugeswap 2013

    This is the marking gauge I made for 489tad, It is made from Tzalam and Granadillo (Red Cocobolo) with a 1/4" Brass inlaid in to the rail. Seeing all the gauges made for the swap is really Awe inspiring.. Great work guys, it has truly been a humbling, fun and educational experience!. 2013...
  2. Screwdrivers and Marking Tools

    As the title of the post suggests, the latest swap was screwdrivers and marking tools. Since I don't have a lathe to make handles for the obvious entries, I decided to make a trifold bit index that I came across in the Woodsmith plans. It holds both drill bits and the various driver bits. It...
  3. Screwdriver/marking tool swap 2022

    First I have to give Devin T credit for the first two pictures great work!!. And yes for this 2022 Screwdriver Marking Tool Swap my package went to Devin T a multi-talented maker. As this was a Screwdriver swap first, the initial piece was screwdriver with a ratcheting drive. It was a bit tight...
  4. Padauk Marking Gauge

    These are some pics of the gauge I sent to Waho6o9. I made it from padauk and brass. I think it turned out pretty well, although I wasn't very happy with the length of the blade, and I screwed up cutting the mortise and had to make a small patch for it. He seems to like it though so it was all...
  5. One of three Marking Gauges

    I am in the process of making three marking gauges. I started off just making two, one for a pencil and the other for a blade. When I cut up the stock I was left with the exact amounts for 3 bodies and 3 beams. It must of been the big woodworker in the sky working in my favour because the...

  7. $2.50 Shop Made Spring-Loaded Straddle Square

    Marking 3 sides of a piece of stock is a error-ridden, clumsy, tedious task. Especially if you have a large number of lines to lay out. Commercial straddle squares capable of marking 3 faces without moving the square are expensive. So, I made one at $77.49 off retail. Materials: One 2 1/2"...
  8. Marking guage

    This is a project I completed a couple of years ago about the time I did my "scrap box". It too is made using scrap hickory. Not a lot special about it except the little piece of hard tubing I use to hold the edge guide in place when I turn the holding screw. I did this so I wouldn't scar up...
  9. Marking tool ,Center Line

    My 2cd attempt at this little fun shopmade "center line marking gauge" started with a rare find down in the shop recently (Some SPARE TIME :) And along with some motivation from a fellow LJer who's kind actions resulted in a prototype exchange of sorts, which in return prompted this 2cd...
  10. Marking Gauges

    To change things up a bit from making projects, I made a couple of tools. A cutting gauge and a mortising gauge. I used hickory and bloodwood hardwood scraps for both items. 1/4" square brass rod and 1/8" round rod for the brass parts. The blade on the cutting gauge is just a little scrap of...
  11. Cocobolo and Brass Marking Set

    When I made the marking set for terryR in the Layout & Marking Tool Swap we just wrapped up, I knew I was going to make another set for myself using some Cocobolo I had squirreled away just for that purpose. So, I ground myself a knife blade, scratch awl and birdcage awl when I made his. The...
  12. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I just won these two bandsaws on an online auction. I know that the green one is a Powermatic 141, but the other was listed as a "Zimm B40". I have looked everywhere for that brand of band saw and not found one mention of Zimm as a power tool manufacturer. The band saws came out of a school...
  13. Site Help and Suggestions
    Why is it that sometimes when I check the pulse, some of the threads say that I've never checked them…. when I am positive I have?
  14. Blogs
    Making the Hand Tool Commitment So as I plan out my first "Real" workbench I have read dozens of articles, forum threads and blogs here and around the internet about the different bench styles and the build process for them. One common theme stood out and that was they all were made using...
  15. Blogs
    Pencil or scribe, what's your preference? I generally use pencils, but last year a co-worker came to me and said "I know you like to build things in your wood shop, but have you ever done any working with metal?" He then showed me a scribe someone had given him to use in HIS shop (he's an...
