Making a Marking Gauge

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.
