Walnut & Alumininininium Bevel Gauge - #ToolsOfAutumn
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
My skill up journey continues! I've tried hard to spend dedicated time over the past year on joinery, sharpening, dovetailing, boxmaking, and now, I'm having a lot of fun in my current phase, tool making!I made myself a bevel gauge out of Walnut and aluminium. I think it came out great. I didn't use a thorough plan for this one, just basically looked at my cheap plastic bevel gauge and tried to copy components. I was going to reuse the steel blade from the cheap one, but decided that making something from scratch would be good practice for me as well. I'm glad I did that, I think it looks great with the thick silver blade as well. I have a “no-talk, just build”, video on my channel if you're interested: https://youtu.be/HRP3v9YfkGsOnce I put this together and put finish on it, I decided I really didn't like that the bolt head stuck out a little, so I filed and sanded it down. That did make it look much better, however I think the steel filings and dust reacted with the oil finish, and ended up staining the makers mark I had installed. I might drill that out and put a new one in, but overall, still really happy with it.edit: Should mention, the main photo is a photoshop job. I only made one bevel gauge, but wanted to show it open and closed in the one photo.
