   Very nice video.
   I have been looking to make a similar marking gauge, but have been having problems to attach the blade to the end of the rod. How have you attached the blade to your marking gauge?

   Very nice, Andrew! I totally enjoyed your video and narrative. I now must get the courage to try a project for myself. There is something about hand tools that make woodworking so enjoyable.

   Thanks for sharing and I am definitely a follower from now on.

   Thank you Andrew! I'm sold on the pine especially having a ready supply of it from my portable saw mill but not quite 100% on the hand tools as I may cheat just a tad with my shop full of power tools.

   Very impressive technique! No knife walls on crosscuts. Mostly pairing down to layout line with a chisel. Razor thin shavings from planes with no fine adjustment mechanism. Obviously surgically sharp tools. Very curious - what is your sharpening method? Thanks for the great videos!

   You make it look easy, Andrew. I appreciate your minimalist approach right down to your bench which seems to be just boards and two saw horses. I like it but I don't understand why you don't use clamping devices - no holdfasts, no vise! I don't know how you do it! Any way, the results speak for themselves and your skills are admirable.
   Best regards, Bill Rankin
