A high quality marking gauge is essential for your finest work. Many customers have asked me to make a marking gauge for them. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to bring one into production. However, Jeff Hamilton of Hamilton Woodworks has developed a very high quality marking gauge that I am proud to offer to my customers. It comes in two sizes, 4 inch and 6 inch; this refers to the length of the beam. They both use a precision cutting blade with a radius, thumbnail grind resulting in a smooth, precise and clean mark. The unique shape results in comfortable options for gripping. The wide fence gives great stability resulting in almost effortless marking. The 4 inch size is ideal for small scale work like marking baselines for dovetailed drawers. The 6 inch gauge is a nice size for larger scale work like marking panels or if you have larger hands. The gauges are offered in Cocobolo and African Blackwood exclusively through Blue Spruce Toolworks. Cherry, locally harvested by Jeff, is also available as an option
