Step 1: Preparing Wood

planed down to size and ready for slicing on the table saw.

Step 2: PIeces for the Marking Guage

All the pieces are same width and height.

Using the marking bar as template the panel is assembled and glued at a tight fit, where the bar barely can move.

Inserting the pin for the makring a hole was predrilled and a small nail was driven through, to make the tip.

Filing the tip to a sharp point is recommended!
