A good match. |
The basics of the gauge are complete at this stage. Once the overall outside dimensions are cut, it's just a matter of cutting some shoulders before entering the most important stage... |
This is what the gauge looks like clamped up with the angle gauge that I made earlier. From here, it's just a matter of milling it flat. |
The brass gauge along side its wooden brother. |
Here is a size comparison against what I'm calling my "standard" gauge. Ralph prefers a slightly larger gauge. This is the same overall dimensions as the first one I made. |
I didn't realize that the slope was that small. Nice post. I liked seeing this come to life.
ReplyDeleteRalph-
DeleteYeah, the slope is dramatically different.
