- In this extract from his Secret Mitre Dovetail DVD, David describes how he marks out the initial lines for a Secret Mitre Dovetail Joint.

I am blown away simply by how well prepared the wood is.
RIP David Charlesworth. His dulcet tones and expertise will be missed by many I am sure.
Some of the best things I learn from you are the importance patience accuracy and being thorough in fine woodworking while enjoying the process. After all, it is called "fine" woodworking :).
Hi David, I've been woodworking for 20 years and you have made me rethink some of my accepted practices. Always a good thing. Many thanks.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I wonder which techniques you found interesting?
David
Hi David the various "aha moments" include seeing you using a crowning plate for the waterstones to produce the camber on the bench/ Jack plane blades. I haven't tried it because I haven't been able to source the plate yet. Is the hollow applied to you finer/polishing stones too, after the 800? Or is it only applied to the course stone?
Of course the ruler trick: I was skeptical at first but decided to try it out on my old Stanley block plane with a replacement Ray Iles blade. I can't articulate it any further only to say the little 9 and 1/2 is now a superior tool.
Gluing together waterstones; brilliant.
Your modified marking gauges.
I also like your calm and composed approach but I'm not sure any of that has rubbed off on me as yet.
My wife has been primed that your DVDs exist and that my 57th birthday is just around the corner.
Thanks again.

Very nice tips and your voice is so soothing! The David Attenborough of woodworking, no doubt!
I couldn't tell you just how much I would've loved having a mentor like you. Such precision.
Thank you David for sharing some really cool ideas to play with. I love the relaxed way you show your work.
This is the first time I ha 've seen one of your videos, David, but it certainly won't be the last. Such a clear, calm presentation.
Thank you Paul, I do strive to meet those two criteria!
David
Very smart! Thank you Dave.
Excellent video and process
Thank you for sharing
Very interesting. I set mine to .008 and for me that’s two pieces of blue painter’s tape. Almost .2 mm.
How did Dave get the stock so perfectly flat and square? I've been trying for years! P.S. what wood is he using here?
Appreciate the fact you either add or subtract a very small amount for clearance and extra for final trim but I feel you did not explain sufficiently how you accomplish this slight adjustment. Also, how accurately can you set the marking gauge to begin with. You are trying to align the marking edge of the blade with the thickness of the timber. Is this all done by sight alone?
Bruce,
It is indeed all done by sight, and a good bench light, such as an Anglepoise.
I am quite shortsighted which may be an advantage!
Also some simple magnification is very helpful. Thread counter or loupe.
Best wishes,
David
What kind of wood is that?
hi david . What does the adjusting screw do.
If you mean the small stainless bolt, it clamps the blade in the cutting gauge.
Frank, in the accessory base to the 135 degree layout "square", it allows for the blade edge to align perfectly with the end grain, the better to find the gauged line with a chisel. I am quite sure that you know this by now!
Hi David
can you do some woodwork to show us all these techniques in action?
Paul,
I aim to show techniques here.
There are a number of pieces of furniture in my three books.
Best wishes,
David
I thought multiple gauges was just for convenience. Can’t you simply transfer each of your settings to a piece of scrap wood with a straight reference edge? And label them so you know which is which? To reset the gauge, loosen the screw, carefully drop blade into the desired line, slide fence up flush, tighten screw. Not accurate enough?
Resetting gauges totally accurately is almost impossible, and the ability to freshen up a line is valuable.
David
hello, why do you have the faces on the outside not inside?
Ben, I like to keep the interior faces as clean as possible. Less clean up at the end.
David
@@DavidCharlesworth ah makes perfect sense now, thankyou.
A 13 minute video about marking gauges... no just 13 minutes of someone using a marking gauge.
Why not simply use marking out tools for metal work!? A height gauge can be set to any distance repeatably, and is much more accurate than any hand held tool.
Using a metal working height gauge requires a precision flat working surface as the reference. Most woodworking work benches are not flat enough to be of any use with metalworking gauges. Woodworking marking gauges use the face or edge side of the wood as the reference.
