Gauging My Progress

Progress is continuing at Rosewood this week, learning to use various machines in the shop.  My saw horses are coming along, but more on that in my next post.

A down side to working in a class of six is that there are not enough machines for everyone all at the same time, so in my spare time I have been using the open tools and some spare wood to build a panel gauge.

A panel gauge is a simple tool, a fence and an arm with a pencil is used to mark out large widths, like a large marking gauge.
