In this video I make a marking gauge from a 10mm steel rod, a 30mm steel hex bar, 5mm thick brass, some screws and a washer.
For the cutting part of the marking gauge I used a normal washer that I've attached to a blot with two nuts and chucked it in a drill to sharpen it on a grinder. I then used stone to do the final sharpening. For the glue up I've just used regular 5 minute two part epoxy.
Very useful tool for any woodworker, especially for those that use a lot of hand tools. It doesn't take a lot of time to make it and you pay a fraction of a cost of a new one.
To tap the holes I've used a homemade tap wrench which is one of the most useful tools that I've ever made. I may make another one just to show how it's done if there is any interest in that.
The idea for using a washer as a blade came from John Heisz and his wonderful video:

While you're there go ahead and watch all of his videos as they are all great.
Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching.
Please share, like and subscribe for more videos.
this will be my next 3 months project. thx for sharing.
With simple hand tools and you made a very good Metal Marking Gauge .
Thanks for sharing .
Svaka čast, samo naprijed !
I love making my own tools, best kind of satisfaction
+Dema's WoodShop I agree completely, using a homemade tool is a lot nicer and more satisfying that buying one.
Really well done! I'll have to make one of these. Definitely need one for my project videos!

+Jake and Emmy's Dad Workshop Thanks a lot! Sorry for not replying sooner but I didn't get the notification.
Great build. Might be nice to grind out a flat part on the washer so it doesn't roll off the table.
Looks really nice! I though about making one myself too since I can't afford a professional one. Great Job!
+Dutchhorse Thank you very much! Yes, this is a very affordable solution, especially if you use steel instead of brass. Sorry for not replying sooner but I didn't get the notification
That turned out pretty nice. Good job!
+Franz Imschweiler Thanks a lot!
It will be lovely if you explain/talk while you are working the parts.
+Jose Arrue I know, but for these kind of simple builds I don't think it's really necessary.
It would be more interesting and give a few measurements, hints, etc. Just not that interesting watch someone drill holes, saw, file, etc. You could make it an actual tutorial that someone could use to also build one.
Very nice! You should be pleased with this one.
Thank you!
that is really something good job mate well done, if it was a bit slower would have been more convenient
+Rizgar Penjweny Thanks a lot!
Nice job but personally I’d have used a replacement wheel blade for a copper pipe hand cutter, as the marker.
bravo majstore
+Igor Prgin Hvala!
You've done your job so good. Would you please let me know that the name of a tool which you were using in the part 1:27. I want to buy that tool but don't know what it called. Many thanks.
+Niki Farme It is a tap and a homemade tap holder. The tap is used to cut the threads and tap holder holds the tap. Thanks for watching
nice. :)
dobra stvar, nije od drveta pa je mnogo cvrsci. pozz.
+Josip Koprivanac Hvala! Da to je bio cilj, a vjerovatno je i lakše za napravit nego od drveta.
Many complex machines to make simple adaptations ...
You can use file instead grinder. Another instruments (like drill) not so rare.
Very good, next step buy a welding.
+telosfd Thanks, I assume you mean buy a welder. I already have one and you can see me welding in a lot of my videos.
Ok i will watch your videos.
