Hamilton Marking Gauge

SMC Member Jeff Hamilton of Hamilton Woodworks in Tontitown, AR has donated four of his custom Marking Guages for a FreeStuff Drawing here at SawMill Creek. Four lucky winners will each receive one of Jeff's beautifull guages.

A high quality, very precise marking gauge. Fits comfortably in your hand and is small enough to carry in your apron pocket. Allows easy marking on small edges while not sacrificing the benefits of larger gauges. It is equipped with a razor sharp 3/16" blade allowing left or right handed use. The marking depth is easily adjusted due to the blade location on the end of the 4" bar. Available in cherry. Exotic woods available upon special request.
Hand crafted in Tontitown, AR.

Visit di legno woodshop supply at this link (http://www.dilegnosupply.com/Marking-Measuring/gauges_hamilton_marking_gauge.htm) and checkout Jeff's marking guages. The phone number is listed below.

The drawing will be held at 8pm EST on January 13th, 2006. Each winner will have seven days to post a message in this thread and claim their prize.

Wow, those are very nice looking, as well as usefull.
Thank you for the donation.
They would look out of place in my shop, ( too nice looking compared to the rest of the equipment ), but I'd make due. Might have to upgrade some of the rest if I won, what a shame.

It would seem our fellow creekers remerkable willingness to share their experience to help others is constently exceeded by their enourmous generosity.

Ken,

There will be over 6000 Members who won't win one of Jeff's marking guages, that is why we put the link in his FreeStuff thread so everyone can purchase them :) There might be a waiting list shortly after the drawings but you can go ahead and place your order now and avoid the long waiting period.

If you should win the drawing don't worry, I'll purchase yours from you since I am not elligible for the drawing.

My free Hamilton marking gauge arrived today, what a beauty. It's arm is captured in a sliding dovetail, cross piece has all the detents in all the right places, looks like it will be a charmer. But what wood is it made of?
