wow ! ,,,A beautiful set of tools you have made there Peter ,they look way to good to use :) .

I do like the design of your scribing tool :thumbup: , I could do with a tool like that for marking out on box section/sheet metal and the likes .

Top job :clap: :clap: :clap:

Very nice Pete, they will compliment your superb workbench beautifully. :bow:

PeterE:
Thank you Rob and Andrew,

It feels very good to be able to make tooling and dare to show them. I am not completely satisfied with the hand turning handles though, they are a bit too different but I will write that on my low experience in wood turning (just started to practice that) but they will serve well anyway I hope.

Rob, if you are looking at making that kind of marking gauge I would recommend to do at least the front face in steel rather than brass unless you happen to have a hard brass variety. Steel sheet edges are very good att cutting into softer things including brass - don't ask me how I know :palm: otherwise it is a very handy tool to have. This one replaces an old worn-down wooden version for me and so far I very happy with that type of design.

Hi Peter ,

I was thinking of making the hole thing from steel :thumbup:

What project do you have in mined that requires hand turning tools ?
