Seems awfully complicated. He's got a lot of tooling - machines and the like - and he can't afford a marking gauge?

I like the knurling solution, never thought of doing that, nice trick.

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

And, I'm pretty sure he already had marking gauges, but making his own was a personal "thing"...a "journey" unto itself....

When you have eliminated all unnecessary wood, then whatever remains, however well formed, is too small to serve as originally intended.
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.
