- The Marking Gauge is a essential tool for every traditional woodworker. Today I am showing you how to make a beautiful marking gauge / cutting gauge from brass and walnut. I used mostly handtools to keep this project as simple as possible.
Please let me know what you think about the finished marking gauge and consider subscribing to my channel, if you like handtools, woodworking and toolmaking.

Thanks for this video, one of best I ever seen on marking gauge construction.
2:54 That's a great explanation of the U-shape.
Thank you! I thought of the U-Shape as a great solution from an engineers perspective compared to a square shaped beam, that will transfer the clamping force from the screw only to one direction. I am glad my explanation in the video made sense. I am also thinking about doing a video about different design ideas and tricks regarding marking gauges.
I am very proud of you. Love mom
Thank you so much mom!
We The Few .... appreciate your sharing of the making of a wonderful marker. We learned a lot and will follow .... (we want to see how you made the knife) ... OORAH!!
Thank you for the tutorial, very enjoyable
The algorithm finally brought me here, like your video style. Subscribed , 👍 and binged the rest. Keep them coming. Thanks for what your doing😊
Beautiful craftsmanship
Thank you very much David!
Fantastic project and video. Waiting for more. All the best from Poland.
Man there is nothing wrong with your set up. If you like it and it works that's all you need. I remember working with limited resources before I built my shop. And sometimes I miss what you are doing. Great video, and new sub.
Hello! Thank you very much for your kind and encouraging words. I am already looking forward to spending some more time in the workshop this winter. Thank you for subscribing, I hope you will like the upcoming videos as well! :)
Beautiful guage. I have a big block of 5/4 walnut that was going to make me some new saw handles. Now I kinda want a marking guage lol.
Hello Timothy! I love working with walnut. The smell, the way it responds to handtools and of course the looks after oiling and waxing it is marvellous. Making a marking gauge from your piece of walnut sounds like a great idea. I would love to see the finished product. If you like, you can send me an email (my mail adress is on the channel). Kind regards!
@@whitedoveworks5651 Hey, I decided on tool handles. I made a handle for a so so spear and Jackson 12 inch tenon saw that I turned into a carcass saw. I just have the cheaper walnut that has about half heartwood in it. But the handle turned out to have heartwood on one side, sap wood on the other, and a tiger stripe effect in the middle. So I'm making hands for a disston k16 and a dovetail handle for a two cherries gents saw. Maybe my chisels could use handles too lol. I'll email some pictures.
Simply elegant…..a true heirloom tool
Thank you very much! I hope it will outlast the next 100 years!
👍👍
Nice! It’s beautiful tool. God blessing you.
Amazing Build! Can't wait for what's to come on this channel 😄
Thanks a lot! There will be some new projects coming in 2022!
finally a really good video without the sadly often over-used and rarely earned hyperbole such as "Genius!", "I can't believe I made this!", "Must see! Insane!!". Just honest craftsmanship, a pleasant voice and a beautiful result. Thank you very much! I look forward to more videos from you!
Dear Andrew! Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them! Makes me happy to see how much you liked it. Have you watched my videos on making a handplane yet?
Pure craftsmanship! Can’t wait for more videos. Maybe hand plane build???
Hello Asa, I am glad to tell you that I am currently working cutting the video material of my handplane build (it's the walnut handplane you can see in this video). I hope to have finished it by the end of february.
Hey Asa, I uploaded the two parts on making a handplane. :)
Great content you deserve a lot more, thanks for this video, you earned a subscriber 🙃
Love it good 👍 luck
Thank you very much!
That came out great. I like the shape to fit your hand and the brass block to apply pressure to the beam is smart.
Hello! Thank you very much! I really tried to make it as ergonomical and long-lasting as possible. Quite some time went into the design of this gauge. It really makes me happy to see that I am not the only one who appreciates this. Thank you again! :)
To get around the "metric sizing" or odd ball sizing - use an American Drill Bit and just some epoxy to fill in the "sloppy hole".
You don't want a too tight (smaller) hole - it will crack due to stresses.
I've used this and have no problems.
You can also use a washer and 2 nuts on a bolt to thread in an insert (I do) and use a hand wrench or a power wrench.
Really amazing work! Great information, but also nice music and camera work. Elegant tool and elegant presentation. Looking forward to more! Grüße aus Stuttgart!
Thank you so much! It always makes me happy to read such a nice comment by someone who really appreciates all the work that went into creating the video. From building the thing, to thinking about camera angles, recording the music, cutting the video until finally publishing many hours go into it. Happy to see that you really enjoyed watching it! :D Grüße zurück aus München!
Just found this video. Amazing work and detail. Would love to see the plans for this. I have a piece of walnut about the right size and have been trying to decide what to do with it. Thank you for the inspiration!
Hello Marcus,
I can send you a PDF of a technical drawing for the main Body. I used it to figure out the layout of holes and recesses. There's not much to the beam so I decided not to draw it.
Adrian, I just found your channel and I wanted to say nice job. Your talent is obvious for such a young man. Not that you are young as much as I am old {over twice your age). I enjoyed your video style and I hope to see some more projects. I know you are busy with school and that comes first, but stay safe and know that I am here to watch you work (that's my specialty). Thank you.
Hello Sam! Your kind words mean a lot to me. I am just getting started on this channel and you comment motivates me to keep going. Upcoming projects that I already filmed are: making a small carving mallet (with carving haha), a handplane and a spokeshave! I hopeyou'll like it. Have a great day!
hi adrian tom from australia here absolutely loved the marking guage video brilliant have subscrbed and watched the rest of your content would it be possible to gat the plan for the marking gauge as i would like to make one for my son indenver colorado using aussie timbers like jarrahalso looking forward to the blade making video if you would like suggestions i think videos on making squares ,mitre squares sliding bevel guages ,spoeshaves in your most elegant fashion would be greatly appreciated again thank you tom
Hello Thomas! Thank you so much for kind words, really means a lot to me. You can send me an email to the.white.dove.works@gmail.com. I will forward you the technical drawing for the body of the gauge if you wish. If you have any other questions on the construction I'd be happy to help.
I believe it would be a beautiful tool made from your australian woods!
Thank you for the suggestions, making a new square is something I have on my list for quite some time already, I should definitely do that this upcoming fall. I was also thinking about making a pipe, a dovetail saw and a toolbox. :)
😍😍
Thank You!
I'd like to see a video on how you made the steel blade. Fine work, by the way
Hello! I will definitely make a video about small blades for marking tools this year! thank you for your request :)
Have you stopped uploading videos to YT?
