Love the gauge and am planning to build it soon! The sketchup file in the link isn't working, though. I will try and use the instructions from the video, but if you could ever re-upload the plan, that'd be greatly appreciated.
I really like the design and the end result. I'm gonna go find some nice hard woods and I will build it exactly the same way. Thanks for inspiring, sharing and the detailed explanation. I really enjoy the video
congratulations on the contest! I also love the long format video. plenty of time for proper explanation of your process! I've been looking to make a cutting gauge and will probably follow this style! Thank you for posting!
Me encanta esta herramienta y pienso construirla . lastima que el video no venga subtitulado para entenderlo mejor.por lo demas el mejor gramil de marcación doble que he visto
Are you a machinist or toolmaker or something? Most woodworkers I know do not have, or ever use, the sizes of drill bits you are using. Number and letter drills are much more common in the machining trades. Just wondering. Nice gauge. Simple design. I think I'll give it a go. Thanks for a thorough explanation.
Hi Doug and good guess. I have a degree in manufacturing engineering technology. I've worked in a pattern shop as a machinist and taught manufacturing technology at a community college.
It could be done easily enough, the long pin would just need to be sharpened on both ends. Since the pins are a pretty tight fit, they need to be tapped into place with a hammer. You would just have to file a point on the top end of the long pin after you drive it into place.
You have heated the blade on your band saw to the point where it straightened the teeth, and is not cutting well, its wandering back and forth on the wood. Replace your blade, and adjust your guides. I can see the blade moving in your clip... I suggest this video: Band Saw Clinic with Alex Snodgrass.
It's been a couple of years. I might have forgotten to engage the quick release tensioner. The blade was probably getting dull as well. That hickory is tough. I sat through one of Alex's seminars at the woodworking shows a few years ago. If you do it like he shows, you can make any bandsaw run like a champ.
Very well done. Video was clear and the commentary on point. The availability of the drawing is just icing on the cake. Thank you.
don’t apologize for lengthy great content. beautiful work.
You did a great job on this! Looks great. Can't wait to make one. Thanks.
Starting work on one tomorrow. Thanks Mike.
It's really fun to make and use your own tools.

@5:15, Funny that a modern metal mortise gauge was used to create this more archaic one.

Thanks, glad you like the video.
thank you for the project, I have just made one and works great, I needed one and coudn't find it here, thanks again!

This is really nice, I'll put this to good use if ever I win, more power to your channel Mike.
Glenn Ray Batangan Thanks, good luck in the drawing.
Bellissimo!

nice piece of work
Is a left-handed gauge like a left-handed screwdriver?
Well yeah, how else would you unscrew a left hand thread.😀
@@mikescncshop Lol I suppose you're right. I found it particularly funny as a lefty.
Love your work, thank you for making such good content.
Very good
Real nice build. I like it.
DrCRAZY Thanks, it's a fun project and I really enjoy using the first one I made.
That Music wire seems to be unavailable.
It looks like hobby lobby has individual 12-inch pieces for $1.99
You could eliminate a lot of the saw marks by lowering your upper guide closer to the work. It was really flexing. Nice job, though.
Excelent, thanks
Quality +1 But I would advise to make one needle two-sided. Then the tool will be more versatile.

Yes, that's right ;)
