Panel Gauge
Craft a precise panel gauge with this woodworking plan, perfect for accurate marking of wide panels in hand tool projects.
A panel gauge is the go-to tool when marking consistent widths across large boards, especially for hand tool users who rely on band saws or hand saws for rip cuts. While a straightedge and ruler can do the job, a well-designed panel gauge offers unmatched accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency for laying out carcass sides, shelves, and more.
This woodworking plan walks you through building a durable, brass-accented panel gauge that’s more reliable than store-bought options and tailored for long-term performance. Ideal for traditional woodworkers, the design solves common flaws found in commercial versions, offering improved precision, solid construction, and refined aesthetics. A rewarding weekend project, this panel gauge will quickly become one of your most trusted layout tools.
