Making a Marking Gauge
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2015
- In the middle of another project I realised I needed a marking guage so I had a root around my workshop and found a few pieces of reclaimed mahogany, some ash, a piece of round stock mild steel and a washer and got to work. Its is a fairly common style of marking guage I choose to go with using a round marking wheel at the top as its easily changed or resharpened when needed. When glueing my pieces of wood I used a dab of CA glue and activator in the center this was to stop the pieces sliding around when clamping together. I also made sure to to have the grain of the ash going in opposite direction to the grain of the mahogany to prevent splitting and then added some splines on the back to give to some more strenght as its under tension when being clamped from the other side.

Without shiny and fancy tools, without expensive wood, result is wonderful.
What are you talking about???
Sure the wood is cheap but most cases for small things you end up using firewood.
The tools where pretty fancy. Didn't you see that caliper he used to mesure. There's no need for that. Or that cordless drill which is probably 300$ new. That table saw by itself is pretty awesome... The fence itself is over 500$ and that is just the fence. So if he bought that thing used and got a good deal he probably still has over a grand in it.
The tools that he used are probably over 3000$ easy. Not exactly cheap.

Depends on where you shop, Estate sales = big savings on tools!
ditigtal calipers can be had for 20 bucks,
Drill 50 used
that table saw used 75 to 150
Lets face it the cross cut sled it old lumber and plywood.
the clamps are 2.50 to 5 bucks each.
I'd say that was mostly cheap tools. Its not what you paid for them its how you use them and your skill.
I'm talking US Dollars are you talking pesaos?
Incra fence might be 500 bucks if its on sale. used its over 450.
No that was a home made table saw fence made out of scrap wood. Get real.
The project was incredible, and the sound track right on. Good Job
I like your design and video. Excellent job. Thank you for sharing.
I am thrilled to see someone else use mineral oil to finish a piece of wood. I am allergic to Linseed oil and have been using mineral oil followed by a wax coating for my finishes. Thank you for the video.
Very nice black walnut always shines bright
Excelent music, exquisite workmanship!
Great video. Thank you for posting
Nice Build! I never thought of using an iron rod instead of brass! I especially liked the added "inlay pieces". I make these to sell and now I have an alternative to offer my customers than brass, which gets pricey. The iron rod cleaned up and oiled looks fantastic and I can offer it for less money. Thanks for the idea!

+CrossGrain Wood Products,LTD Great glad you got a bit of inspiration out of it :) The 'inlayed' splines were put in across the grain to give a bit of strenght to prevent splitting along the grain with the clamping pressure, that and they look cool :) Thanks for watching.
Very nice indeeed! Good job! In fact you've inspired me to give it a try! Thanks!
+Edwin Allen Thanking you sir! Glad to here it!!
An excellent marking gauge, effective, good looking and explained very well in the video. I am sure it can be made by hand tools without difficulty - though it will obviously take a tad longer than using machines. I needed some marking/mortice gauges but did not have any suitable spare steel rod so am taking a slightly different approach. I bought some sets of cutters for the Veritas marking/mortice gauges and a job lot of lengths of 5/16" stainless steel rod. That gave me the beam and cutters and I just needed to make the fences with a clamping mechanism. The resulting marking and mortice gauges are great.
Anyone doing any reasonable amount of woodwork quickly realises that a) one gauge is never enough b) shop bought ones are either expensive or very poor quality (or both!). Almost any gauge with a cutter some kind is far superior to the scriber spike traditionally used (a cutter gives a far better line by cutting the wood fibres than than the scriber spike which rips them).
Your clamping method is different from the more common bolt or the wedge found in most other marking gauges but is just as effective, easier and quicker to make and less prone to damage than some methods I have come across.
I would strongly recommend that any woodworker make their own marking and mortice gauges. For anyone new to woodwork it is a good learning exercise; anyone with a bit of experience probably has the skills to make all the gauges they need pretty quickly.
If anyone has doubts about the pros and cons of making their own marking gauge they should have a look at some of the abysmal offerings on the market right now. One is on sale for under £2.00 but is so poorly made that the fence cannot be locked in position (made by Forge Steel), another (the Stanley 2-47-064) costs £10.99, is made of plastic and has a scribe point made from plasticine or putty. Far better to make your own!
Many thanks for sharing the excellent video.
Great work! I need to make me one of those now.
+dcis2002 They come in very handy. Thanks!
Super simple and very inspiring. Thank you sir for the video.
Just paused the video 1 min in. No talking no tellimg me how to measure. No over explaining. You sir just got a sub. And double time vid. All good. Thanks for not catering to .....
.
Great work man :)
simple fast and works. I wouldn't say a work of art, its a tool to use if you don't have one.
But it still looks nice Not sure I'd use baby oil for a finnish but hey what do I know? As long as the oils don't leach out onto raw wood your working on it works.
This shows you do not need a million dollar work shop to do this stuff.
This guy uses what he has, and I like that.
Yes, I'll give that one a shot, thanks Mate.
Nice work, sir.
Thanks
That was really nice man. I've got to make one but lack the talent. Wish I could do one like that. When you view something like that, I don't even listen to the music.
REAL NICE.
Thanks :)
Tony Bryce Perez
you only lack the talent if you don't try!
Nice job!
Thanks
Good job! I like the idea to use an iron rod. Shake your hand, Erik.
Thanking you, and I'll shake it right back at you :)
Hello, I live in Brazil and I admire your videos. Very beautiful congratulations project
obrigado
Hi my friend of diy, i have a doubt, what was that product you've sprayed over the glued pieces and CA glue?
Great video and process. Don't change a thing. The music is looped, so what...keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing...
Молодец! Удачи тебе!
Love the music! My kind of jazz. Good project, I will do something similar.
Love this and I think this is going to be my next project. Only one question is the sharpened washer free to rotate everything happened to quick to see.
Nice work. Only thing you should do different is throw away the winged nut and make a wooden one yourself.
Maravilloso Trabajo !!!
Very nice.
SWEET!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
Great, like it 👍
This beautiful! I'd make one myself, but I have many beautiful vintage ones.
good steel to use is old tool steel, files, planer knifes old plane blades never trash that stuff even broken drill bits or saw blades.
I grinder and sander you can make almost any type of cutting edge that will hold its sharpness.
Old tools are the best, estate sales and garge sales you can find used older tools dirt cheap.
Thanks. By the way I used mineral oil ie bread board finish not baby oil ;)
lovely beats
Bravo! Nie Video. I have a question.. What kind of blade is used? Is that for glass? Forgive my ignorance ..
When do you mark with a pencil and when would you use a marking gauge?
I reckon you have got another clamp in there (1:44 mark) ;)
Tell me please, which varnish do you use?
Awesome
Thank you!
Enjoying your videos. Subbed :)
Happy days, thanks
Not sure you had enough clamps during the lamination stage ;)
You can never have enough
Good job. Though you introduced a weak point by band sawing past the hole.
Blz ! Show de bola. vlw
Don't give up a thing.Don't do rough handling.
Bellisimo. Para exhibirlo. Saludo desde Medellin Colombia.
Bonito el tutorial. Gracias por compartir. Al encolar las tablillas ud quita un poco de pegamento con el dedo y deposita una gota de otro producto. Luego, con spray, aspersa sobre los pegamentos. Que son esos productos?
gracias, fue pegamento de ca y activador
An early 1990s sitcom opening sequence called. They want their music back....
the finishig oil is baby oil?
I really like this and want to build it as well. But I'm cannot estimate the size. Can you share some facts like height, length and width and the length of the rod, please? Thx.
The cutting edge of the wheel has to be flash with the end of the rod in order to transfer sizes.
Was thinkinh the same. I want to create like this but counterstrike the screw. Schuld not be that mich extra work.
Excellente vidéo commentée par images mais seule chose qui manque c'est les mesures des pièces que vous decoupez.
Normalement au début de la video vous pouvez donner la recette comme en cuisine.
Merci
que passe tu comme produit de finition ?
At the 2:52 mark what did you put in that hole of the rod and for what purpose and at 3:03? Lubricant so it doesn't get hot?
I make the centre with a punch to help the drill bit set in place and then I add some oil to stop it from getting too hot and help it cut better.
Frontierless Craftsman Cool thx. nice
manteb mas,
Well done! Does the washer/scribe marker on the end turn as you mark the line or is it stationary? I really like how you sharpened it with the drill and disk sander.
+Tom Yokom Thanks. No its stationary but I can rotate the bar as it gets dull to keep a nice line. Happy you got something from it!
Naming the author of the design would have been a nice touch
me ha gustado el video lo malo es la musica
👏👏👏👍👍👍
whose music, who plays
that music has got to go man. hard to sit through 9 minutes of what seems to be a 10 second loop
godzilla7382 I found it surprisingly calming for some reason tho.
Strange, but I agree with godzilla; for some reason the music did not really bother me. I liked the base line. I did turn it down a bit though.
godzilla7382 I
Honestly, the music was a turnoff.
That music was so annoying,great video but
john heisz design
during the glue-up, you wiped a spot then put something from a squeeze bottle and spray in there. What was that? there was twice you used it.
It is CA/super glue and it's activator. As to why, at first I thought that it was to stop the pieces from sliding while clamping but then he sprayed the activator on which set the glue so the only other thing I can think off was to harden the wood up a bit as it looks like the spot where he drilled the clamping screw for the rod.
D H CRAFT This question was actually answered in his notes under the video I didn't realize there was more text there to read and missed it but he says "When gluing my pieces of wood I used a dab of CA glue and activator in the center this was to stop the pieces sliding around when clamping together"
Thanks for the heads up, I nearly always read the description before watching for just this reason. There is usually the answers there but after a run of no info I dropped the ball on this one, though I would have thought that the glue had harden before he could connect the pieces together?
Never having used activator I looked into it and was told yhst after the activator comes into contact with the CA you have around 3 seconds to make the bond before its permanent. Seems handy
que grupo es la musica esta bien chigona la musica te encargo el dato
2:15 with that music tho...
Seems like a lot of work for a marking gauge.
but thats were the fun lie's
If only I had some of the tools he has. ;-;
What tools he had that are so hard you to buy or make? Dont bullshit your self and start making. If i can make band saw from wood, with disk sander then you should not have any issues ether..
Who needs a drill press. Be pragmatic.
Had to turn sounds off after about 3 min

Trabalho do cacete!
Couldn't watch this because of the music.
:)
That sled has got to go
It works, Sure its ugly but it does the job didn't cost much and if he needs to use a corbin 3 head shaper set or Dado blade he's not out much.
Just find some plywood and a 2x4 boom your back to work.

I want people to understand that the music they like doesn't like everyone. And very loud. Many times you don't feel like going to the bathroom, but when you hear it you have to go.
en camara rapida NO SIRVE PARA NADA,no se alcanza a apreciar nada.

Bad idea brother
Wing nut is the let down, would of been better to of made a wooden nut.
orasyon laban sa nuno sa Punso
You made a "sliding Mallet"..... a brick of wood w a fat rod w a blade..... pls change up music....editing apps house wav files suck
Great video, great video but that porn level jazz has to go. There’s better jazz out there than this!!! LOL!!!
That Godawful music has got to go !!!
incredibly irritating music; couldn't finish video
More annoying music
Look, another obnoxious music, sped-up video. I made it to 48 sec. This trend is putting off a lot of people. Remember, you're targeting a wide audience. Don't turn them off.
