I feel like you watch a certain prop master.

[@MonkstaRS3]

Exactly what I thought when I found this channel today lol.

[@federigonumpty1213]

This man is a genius teacher and has clearly found his purpose. I've learned more from his KZbin tips than years of reading. And he's a wit. What's not to like? Thank you.

[@khdur]

Can you even imagine a woodworker named Mark Gage? #HellOnEarth

[@lbhunter6341]

What if he was also royalty? He may become known as, Mark (King) Gage!"

[@mattheweliser7487]

I got this device from my grandfather never knew how to use it properly. Ty

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

That a tip I'll really use, thank you.

[@andrewkrahn2629]

1. excellent guide! 2. For the Veritas wheel-style, you can get an extra little clip that lets you lock the distance between the wheels but still move the fence.

[@henrythurman]

Thank. You😊

[@J.A.Smith2397]

Great tip

[@gracenjuguna7292]

you make me feel like going to woodworking college. I know nothing ...you know too much!! love it

[@gracenjuguna7292]

how does one learn this kinda stuff??

[@emmaangaea4517]

Thank you. I'm new to woodworking, and idk why, but I've never heard of mortise gauge. Now I know what it's for and how to use it.

[@benfurbank]

I'm sure that workd really accurately, personally though I get it just as accurately by just pushing down the chisel into the wood and then I've got the exact copy when I align the mortise chisel

[@persembahankasih5022]

My name is mark

[@91rus]

Blessed where is Luke and John with Mathew

[@andrewengstrom1516]

Genius

[@brownstonecustomcabinetry5309]

Good tip!

[@60kudu]

Does anyone get tired of this guys puns? I sure don’t

[@kenny-anjanettehorn7722]

This is a great tip!

[@user-gq6fu5kh1l]

That was engaging

[@nortok00]

That's thinking out of the box! I'm a newb so thanks for these tips! 👍👍

[@stevenboyd593]

Made marking remarks pointedly, the erstwhile chiseler, sliced shavings whilst shiningly shorn.

[@StormTrouper3]

When I was a kid, I used one of these as a hammer.

[@Ross-yc1fh]

Hey what are the first joints you would recommend to learn how to do?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I'd say jump into dovetails. A lot of people make it seem like it's some crazy difficult joint, but it is really a basic simple joint. I find it even easier than finger joints as one half of it doesn't matter. You make the other half match it. Between that and a mortise and tenon you can make most any furniture.

[@stephenreaves3205]

Just make sure your chisel is square. If it's at an angle then the distance will be smaller

[@doncarmack5132]

That tool is awesome

[@YourFellowPlant]

Dont know what this is, but it looks cool lmao

[@vezirtonyukukomeraslan7142]

hello sir can let see how we grinding the mortise chisels on this video

[@soledude]

👌👌👌

[@deioide2065]

Hey my name‘s Marc 😂

[@beplanking]

Oh shoot, the harbor freight marking gague?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Yup. It is honestly one of my favorites.

[@rockscho1]

Thanks, Mark 😮 sorry James😅

[@franky47]

The big question with those Veritas dual-rollers: bevels in or bevels out? Since we use the same setting on the mortise and the tenon, one would have the bevel on the "wrong" (non-waste) side. Does it even matter?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Honestly, it doesn't make that big a difference. Unless you're that accurate with a saw. Some people will be pretty picky about it but I haven't found it to make any practical difference.

[@franky47]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo Thanks James! I'm definitely not that accurate with the saw 😅

[@criswilson1140]

I have 2 sets of matters. One set is bevel in, the other is nevel out

[@jonnycarter4190]

Hey, where did you get that wheel cutter thing from ? I've never seen one before

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

That is the veritas dual wheel marking gauge.

[@Apha-Apha]

Gage your Mark? What does Gage do to Mark? And why YOUR Mark, like you home? do you own a Jeff? A Henry? A Will?

[@bobbyabrahm3506]

I think paul sellars would disagree

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

He has gotten good at putting the chisel in the marking gauge and not bumping it when setting the fence. That method really frustrates a lot of people, though. It's one of the great things about woodworking. There's no right way to do it.

[@officialtree5245]

ok very random question, but i don't use a marking knife or gauge, and i'm wondering if you'd say its neccesary or ig what the overall benefit would be

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

It's faster and more accurate layout particularly for hand tools. For power tools you often rely on setting up the jig rather than marking the tool. But a knife or a cut line is far more accurate than a pencil. Not to mention every time you measure something you lose accuracy

[@Deqster]

For the joke today: I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions of voices suddenly GROANED out in DISGUST, and were suddenly VIOLENT. I fear something terrible has happened.

[@sbjennings99]

Especially when you can't think logical

[@Thewindwhispers.]

Why not just measure how wide the chisel is then just place the ruler on the wood and mark it then use that other marking tool to make the straight lines?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

that just introduces error. any time you measure you are adding chances for error.

[@Thewindwhispers.]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo interesting, but I feel like there is still errors to be made with that other tool. Whenever you do it yourself you are subject to human error. I think the added benefit of knowing the exact length and size of all your peices so if you want to know that you can. I don't doubt the fact that it is a very cool and unique tool that can easily make the job alot easier so I'll give you that. Also sorry if half of that doesn't make sense I'm extremely tired and that tends to happen thank you so much for your response may peace be with you at all times 🙏

[@Thewindwhispers.]

​@@WoodByWrightHowTotbh I don't think I understood the whole concept when I watched the video at first that all probably doesn't make sense at all 😂

[@Estwing22]

Dude, that poor chisel looks like an abused dog. Give it some love.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Lol. It is a 150 year old hand forged chisel with laminated tip.

[@Estwing22]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo Extra extra love for sure then. Reverence. Appreciation for the work that it must have done and the hands that did it.
