Honey Brook Sliding Bevel Gauge

The Honey Brook Sliding Bevel Gauge is modeled after the classic design common among early New England toolmakers. An important layout tool to a well-stocked woodworker's kit, the sliding bevel gauge can serve a variety of functions such as dovetail layout, transfer of irregular angles within a particular project, and as a guide for drilling at an angle in, for example, chairmaking.

The Honey Brook Marking Gauge features:

1. Custom brass thumbscrews made in the style of those found on early New England made sliding bevels. I make each thumbscrew on my metal lathe and manual milling machine.
2. A handle made in your choice from a variety of domestic and exotic hardwoods.
3. Highly polished brass fittings to complement the wood of your choice
4. A 9" polished steel bevel blade.

Like all the other tools in my inventory, I make each of these bevel gauges myself. After inspection, I stamp each bevel gauge with my maker's mark. The wood on each Honey Brook Bevel Gauge is finished with Glancy's No. 1 Penetrating Oil followed by hand-rubbed shellac. Once the shellac is cured, each bevel guage receives several coats of my shop made beeswax polish.

This is a tool that you'll enjoy using and be proud to pass down to future generations of makers in your family!
