I've modeled the Honey Brook Sliding Bevel Gauge 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, chair making.
The Honey Brook Sliding Bevel Gauge features:
- 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.
- The rear brass fitting at the tip of the handle is tapped to receive the thumbscrew.
- A handle made in your choice from a variety of domestic and exotic hardwoods.
- Highly polished brass fittings to complement the wood of your choice
- 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. I finish the wood on each Honey Brook Bevel Gauge with penetrating oil and hand-mixed shellac. Once the shellac is cured, each bevel gauge 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!

The bevel gauges I received are very beautiful and function very well. The knob tightens down very easily to keep the blade from moving. I am very happy with the purchase and will be handing these down to my children someday.
The tools arrived in great shape with careful packaging, and a handwritten note from Will.
A personal touch, from a human making things useful (and beautiful) in small batches. A wonder in our modern world.
I appreciate your repeat business Ted! Thank you for rhis lovely review!
Will’s talent with steel and brass components is on par with his woodworking skill. This is my second order from Honey Brook Tools and the third order is already made. This bevel gauge is beautiful, flawlessly executed and a pleasure to work with. Tools like this benchmark solid design and manufacture.
Thank you for your kind words Jon. I'm grateful for your repeat business!
A bevel gauge is a pretty simple and utilitarian tool (he says without ever having made one!), but Will has turned it into a beautiful work of art. The new knob works well and is a huge step up from an off-the-shelf thumb screw. To top it off, it's always a pleasure to work with Will -- it's not just a transaction, it's a very personalized experience. Another great tool to add to my growing collection of Honey Brook masterpieces!
Thank you Mike! Happy to do business with you again!
I received a set of bevel gauges from my wife as a birthday present. To say the tools are beautiful is to sell them short. The fit of the wood and brass is flawless to the touch. The wood is finished to a beautiful sheen that still allows the user to feel the wood under hand, not a glossy plastic feel. They operate smoothly when the thumb screw is loosened and won’t budge when it is tight. I was gifted a set of four bevel gauges one of each wood offered. Each has its own personality and beauty brought by the natural figure and color of each wood. Congratulations Will Adams, these are a simple tool which means there is nowhere to hide from a get it right perspective, you have gotten it so right! Thank you!
Thank you Brian! I appreciate you taking the time to write and hope you enjoy these for many years to come!
