Here is another drawer holding cutting and marking gauges.
This is a drawer intended to be dedicated to wooden mortice and cutting gauges, but does have two wheel gauges which could not be fitted elsewhere.
The mortices gauges fall into these three types ...
Veritas Dual Marking Gauge, Kinshiro, and one of my designs.
The Kinshiro is my absolute favourite, and I was gifted one several years ago (thanks Wiley!). Found another about a year back. They are no longer made by Kinshiro, and no longer available for purchase. I have made a number of single-blade cutting gauges in a similar manner to these double-blade gauges. The Kinshiro may be used as single blade gauges as well, plus one can set up a reversed blade as well, which is useful when paring shallow mortice walls, such as here!
The shopmade mortice gauge is in the style of Kinshiro, but uses a cassette to house double-sided blades to match a range of mortice and tenon widths ...
Here is the drawer ...
Bottom right is a cutting gauge from Colen Clenton. This was a prize in an Australian tool making competition in 2009.
The holders are made from Hard Maple ...
