Nice video! May I suggest that you drill a small oversize hole in your anvil to receive the punched through pin so no clamp would be necessary and no bending of the brass plate would occur? Really enjoy your channel. Regards, Morris
Either you have it slid on wrong or someone put the wrong parts together. Try taking the gauge off, and turning it so it looks like the gauges in the video. And if it's still having trouble, you may have to take some sandpaper to the inside mortise of the gauge and slowly work it wider.
Thanks, I’ve been contemplating the replacement of marking pins. Just hadn’t got into studying how to get the pins out or, as you did here, to push them through.
A drift pin would be a lot more effective than a punch in pushing that pin through. I think this up close and detailed look, which I appreciate very much, convinces me that older is not better. But I do enjoy your video. Thanks!
I aways enjoy the video’s that you post I’m not a woodworker but I appreciate talent and expertise when I see. Thanks for sharing
This is very satisfying!

Nice to see those little beauties. I love old time wood shop tools because these tools will out live modern tools.
I always really appreciate your videos! The simple editing, considerate camera angles, and knowledgeable teaching are very, very welcome.
Thanks so much!
I think I would make new pins! Thanks Josh.
Yes, if the current pins slip back, then a new pin is the way to go.
What if the brass won't slide?
What about if the fence is too tight and even with the screw loosen it won’t slide up and down without your banging the end on your bench top?

That was nice. You have some beautiful gauges. I am inspired to tune up mine this weekend.

You're welcome Carey!
I have the same exact mortifying gauge! Did you ever date it? Good video.
I got a kick out of your auto-correct! No, I have too many gauges to rehab to think about dating them.
Here's a tip: make your own gauge.
Thanks, very useful and timely.
You're most welcome Scott!
I just got one can't wait to use it in upcoming projects
Woo hoo!
Thank you, this was really helpful.
Glad it helped...you're most welcome Dalbir
Josh could you do a video on rehabbing a traditional cutting gauge?
Same idea. Just sharpen the cutter, and make a new wedge, if needed.
Very interesting and useful.
Glad it was helpful!
This was a great video
Thanks Michael!
Great tips
Thanks Adam!
Thanks josh

But I do enjoy your video. Thanks!
You are certainly right. I just didn't have one that small on hand. A small finish nail would also work well.
More restoration videos!!!!
You'd better believe it!
Why not do a class project in making a marking or mortise gauge , that way they can take it home with them .
Ha! We've got one! Here's the link Christopher: store.woodandshop.com/product/class-make-woodworking-hand-tools-with-will-myers/
