I read that chapter on gauges! Very informative and a great book to have. I often refer to it. Matter of fact, I'm staring at it right now on my desk. I highly recommend this to anyone.

Huh….. slitting gauge. I have one and had no idea what it was really for. Thought it was just a different marking gauge. I learn something every single episode. Thank you sir!! Love what you are doing and my woodworking is improving because of it.

Got to love gauges. I still can't get used to some of my students not being able to hold them well, and use them well.

Nice collection of gauges. I have both a marking gauge and a mortise gauge but I decided I am going to make the other gauges I need. Cost of gauges is too high to just buy them. Love your books very handy when I need information on tools and methods. Thank you

You're welcome!

On the continent we have another style with two arms (Ulmia makes it for example). When doing a mortice, you adjust one arm for the inside line and the other arm for outside line (but you can't mark both lines at the same time).

@@gjbmunc You can search 'Ulmia Streichmass' to see a picture. Like Ulmia planes, they're fairly simple, no nonsense tools that get the job done. Very precise, but no frills, and no better or worse than the English versions. The point is more of a needle than a nail, and it isn't filed to be flat on one side.

Someday I’m going to have a store bought marking gage. Made the two I currently own. Great beginner project. BTW, both are pin gages. I should probably make a knife gage.

Nice presentation, sir. I've heard the term "panel gauge" - is that simply a gauge with a long beam, or is it more specialized? Thank you for sharing.

@gjbmunc

2 ай бұрын

That is correct, primarily for marking panels.

What about changing the pins? I've got some marking/mortice gauges that the pins are worn out

@joexaver1611

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I have an old mortising gauge and the pins are pretty much worn away.

Pull ou the pins and insert some (sharpened) small finish nails.

An overlooked piece of Graham’s teaching is his knowledge (and perhaps, his fascination with?) words and their origin. My question today is … Graham, did you study Latin at some point in your life?? 😉

We all took Latin a long time ago in London.
