Greetings from Denmark. Here are some pictures of my marking gauges. This summer we went to Eksjö in Sweden (Sweden’s best-preserved wooden town), where I found cross marking gauge in Qvarnarps building supply. At a few pounds I could not resist it Unfortunately the salesman could not tell me about the usage/best practice.
The last one is a traditional Danish marking gauge. It has one pin in the first beam, and two pins in the second for mortise and tenon joinery. I used this all the time.
Furthermore I have a homemade panel gauge – based on pictures that I have seen on the net.

This gives me the kind of fine line I like to work with both the actual tenon and the shoulder lines sometimes.

Thanks for addressing an important skill once again. I got a lot out of this posting.

I do have a question. I am cutting a few angled tenons and using a rule and pencil to mark them. I suppose I can make a template for repeatability. However, I am wondering if you have a better way to do this using marking gauges.

Thanks,
PhilM
