Marking Gauge

Here is a little project that I did recently. It’s marking gauge used for marking cut lines for dove tails and tenons. I made it from poplar. It’s based on the Hamilton marking gauge.

The blade is made from an old corner bracket that I had laying around.

    Yes, the theme is free. It’s called Black-Letterhead. I made a few adjustments to font sizes and colors, but very minor. Thanks for visiting.
    I used to build boats many years ago. I worked for a guy named Ralph Stanley in Southwest Harbor, Maine. We built Maine lobster boats and Friendship Sloops.

    I’ve thought about it lots and lots. I would like build something along the lines of a St. Lawrence Skiff. Someday.
