DIY Marking Gauge

I show how to make a marking gauge, an essential woodworking hand tool, step by step using basic woodworking hand tools. In each step, I try to show how this can be made even if you dont already have a marking gauge to begin with. Two of mine ended up with pretty bad off-center holes, so learn from my mistake!!
