Book 3 — Gauge for Woodwork

Reading edition

Woodwork gauge
Woodwork gauge

A convenient gauge can be quickly made by using a block of wood and an ordinary nail, or several nails for different widths can be placed in one block. Drive the nails straight into the block until the distance between the head and block is the required distance to be gauged. The rim of the nail head makes the mark as the block is drawn over the wood surface—Contributed by E. P. Haldeman, Balboa, Canal Zone.
