Marking gauge you can make - Timberwolf - 01-08-2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfBcwZdp48k RE: Marking gauge you can make - Bill_Houghton - 01-09-2019 Seems awfully complicated. He's got a lot of tooling - machines and the like - and he can't afford a marking gauge? RE: Marking gauge you can make - Admiral - 01-09-2019 I like the knurling solution, never thought of doing that, nice trick.

Nothing like making your own tools if you can. Means a lot more to you and IF you make them nice enough to sell a few if others like them.

I thought the "knurling" trick with the file was pretty clever, Gary...Rich picked up on it also.... And, I'm pretty sure he already had marking gauges, but making his own was a personal "thing"...a "journey" unto itself....

Why would he buy a marking gauge when he can make one. RE: Marking gauge you can make - TGW - 01-16-2019 It is a cutting gauge for crossgrain use not just any marking gauge with a pin. Cutting gauges don't come cheap. All the cheap ones have just a round pin. By the way I have made a lot of tools myself. Even built some machines. Making what I can make means that I at least stand a chance to afford what I cannot make.

The "challenge" is not in buying tools...The challenge is in making them..Anybody with money can buy them.. |
