[@That_1940s_Delinquent]

KZbin is awesome. I could spend $100 a month or something to get classes on this type of stuff or I can watch these for free. Thank you for another grate video I am trying to lern wood working and you have been a grate help.

[@gjbmunc]

Great to hear!

[@pittschapelfarm2844]

I read that chapter on gauges! Very informative and a great book to have. I often refer to it. Matter of fact, I'm staring at it right now on my desk. I highly recommend this to anyone.

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks for sharing!

[@twcmaker]

Got to love gauges. I still can't get used to some of my students not being able to hold them well, and use them well.

[@gjbmunc]

Takes a little practice.

[@5StoryWoodWorks]

Huh….. slitting gauge. I have one and had no idea what it was really for. Thought it was just a different marking gauge. I learn something every single episode. Thank you sir!! Love what you are doing and my woodworking is improving because of it.

[@jimcarter4929]

Yes and also sometimes used to slit through veneer.

[@gjbmunc]

Glad I could help!

[@gjbmunc]

True!

Just found this channel, So far I like the way you teach. Now I'm going to have to get the book

[@gjbmunc]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@andrewbrimmer1797]

Great video

[@gjbmunc]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kentonward97]

Nice collection of gauges. I have both a marking gauge and a mortise gauge but I decided I am going to make the other gauges I need. Cost of gauges is too high to just buy them. Love your books very handy when I need information on tools and methods. Thank you

[@gjbmunc]

Very welcome!

[@roman_le]

Thank you!

[@gjbmunc]

[@markp6062]

[@joebarry45]

Please stabilize the tool and camera in close ups. Thanks!

[@gjbmunc]

I'll try.

[@roadtriplover.]

Fantastic! I had no clue there was so much variety.

[@gjbmunc]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@donovancampbell7785]

Again, wonderful videos!:)

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks so much!

[@TomBuskey]

I have a Stanley 95 butt guage. Its all about making the mortise for a door hinge.

[@gjbmunc]

Yes, it's a cool tool.

[@4tannus]

I love that book!

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks so much!

[@David.M.]

Thanks!

[@gjbmunc]

No problem!

[@BakerVS]

On the continent we have another style with two arms (Ulmia makes it for example). When doing a mortice, you adjust one arm for the inside line and the other arm for outside line (but you can't mark both lines at the same time).

[@gjbmunc]

I'll keep my eye out for one. Sounds cool.

[@BakerVS]

@@gjbmunc You can search 'Ulmia Streichmass' to see a picture. Like Ulmia planes, they're fairly simple, no nonsense tools that get the job done. Very precise, but no frills, and no better or worse than the English versions. The point is more of a needle than a nail, and it isn't filed to be flat on one side.

[@ChrisStCyr-gnt7]

Someday I’m going to have a store bought marking gage. Made the two I currently own. Great beginner project. BTW, both are pin gages. I should probably make a knife gage.

[@gjbmunc]

Yes, try it!

[@bearshield7138]

these are so wonderful

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks!

[@dpmeyer4867]

thanks

[@gjbmunc]

You're welcome!

[@scotsman7626]

What about changing the pins? I've got some marking/mortice gauges that the pins are worn out

[@joexaver1611]

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I have an old mortising gauge and the pins are pretty much worn away.

[@ImOnAJourney]

Great question! I do hope Graham addresses this quandary for us. It seems this might be a common problem amongst the lot of us.

[@jimcarter4929]

@@joexaver1611You can use broke off drill bits, the shank part. Or large piano wire.

[@gjbmunc]

Pull ou the pins and insert some (sharpened) small finish nails.

[@johnford7847]

Nice presentation, sir. I've heard the term "panel gauge" - is that simply a gauge with a long beam, or is it more specialized? Thank you for sharing.

[@gjbmunc]

That is correct, primarily for marking panels.

[@robertsevera137]

good day sir😄

[@gjbmunc]

Same to you

[@12bore36]

Nice ...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks

[@ImOnAJourney]

An overlooked piece of Graham’s teaching is his knowledge (and perhaps, his fascination with?) words and their origin. My question today is … Graham, did you study Latin at some point in your life?? 😉

[@gjbmunc]

We all took Latin a long time ago in London.
