Standard Pencil Gauge
I
N CABINETRY,THERE AREmany occasions when you need to mark
distances from an edge and some of these recur frequently. This
gauge allows you to mark distances from the edge of stock by drawing
with a pencil in the appropriate notch.
The example shown above is made from^1 ⁄ 4 -in. hardboard screwed to
a piece of^3 ⁄ 4 -in. square stock. It has notches at^1 ⁄ 4 -in. intervals on one
side and intermediate^1 ⁄ 8 -in. spacings on the other, but you can arrange
notches and the size of the gauge to suit your needs.
