Carpenter's Gauge

  The home workshop can be supplied with a carpenter's gauge without any expense' by
the use of a large spool and a round stick of wood.

The stick should be dressed to fit the hole in the spool snugly and a small brad driven through one end so that the point will protrude about 1/16 in.

The adjustment of the gauge is secured by driving the stick in the hole in the direction
desired.

A better way and one that will make the adjusting easy is to file the point end of
a screw eye flat and use it as a set screw through a hole in the side of the spool.
