    Best instruction ever. I don't have to listen to 45 min. about aunt Bessie's dog while trying to sort the 3 min. of actual instruction. Thank you very much.

    The problem with many UA-cam videos is even though the information is great the videos are boring because they are too slow. I can get bored in less than 2 minutes. The reason why John and Matthias's videos are so awesome is they are never boring. No matter how long the video, you keep things moving at the right pace so I stay engaged and never bored.

    Just a heads up: from now on I'm deleting comments that have the reply disabled. It's annoying as hell not being able to reply to a comment on my own video. If you want to comment and have your comment answered or not be deleted, fix your G+ settings.

      I have been looking at different designs of marking gauges and yours is the most practical and easiest. It would be even faster just to buy the dowel. Great video!

    Very well done. I have searched for and found oodles of videos on how to make a marking gauge. Yours is by far the best. Simplicity in its purest form and works. No fancy brass or high dollar Bolivian mahogany or whatever. Good job!

    This is fantastic. Love the dowel maker and your way to sharpen the washer. Good quality stuff here.

  • @NikosDIY
    @NikosDIY 5 років тому

    I think this is the best marking gauge design by far. It is simple to make especially if you buy a dowel and the washer makes it work like the very-tas expensive ones. Thank you for sharing, I will try to make one for sure.

    Wonderful video John. You provided a 2 for 1 today: Marking gauge & Dowel Maker. Very cool trick with the washer turned cutting wheel. Your gauge is certainly as effective as the ones from Veritas, and much less exspensive. You just added another tool project to my summer shop work. Thanks! :-)

  • @jimmcewan417

    Just a thought ! You could use the wheel of an old tin opener or even an old glass cutting wheel They are a lot harder than a sharpened washer and will last longer!

  • @jlinkels
    @jlinkels 5 років тому

    Great way to make a dowel. Never had seen that before. Your video is very good, no music, no double speed playback.You could have cut out a little less so the video would be longer. But that is just for entertainment to give longer pleasure watching this. You show all steps in sufficient detail. Didn't you want to harden the washer after putting the edge on?

    I liked the marking gouge a lot, but even more so I enjoyed editing style. I usually find almost all the videos on youtube too slow, as if its intended for kids (im talking about woodworking videos). Yours on the other hand show every step but 5 times quicker. Subscribed

    Hi John, I have a similar belt sander setup but the cheap B&D sander is held perpendicular to a base. I find it handy to have that extra reference to square and makes the B&D perform like a higher precision unit.

  • @tk429

    Your sharpened washer reminds me of the blades on a tube cutter. I wonder if you could use a replacement tube cutter blade instead of the washer.
