Half Moon Marking Gauge 半月线勒子 - Traditional Chinese Woodworking Tools

In this video I show you how to make a traditional Chinese woodworking marking gauge. The gauge is based on a design I saw from a Chinese woodworking master. My version is a bit simpler than his, but the basic concept is the same. I've decided to give it an English descriptive name of a Half Moon Marking Gauge.

Checkout the links below where I show you how to make a variety of traditional Chinese woodworking tools.
