Dry-erase Markers Bring Pin-prick Accuracy

ByPaul Sellers

DSC_0120 A useful trick working with gauges on some woods that seem to hide the gauge lines is to use a broad felt tip or jumbo dry-erase marker like the ones used on whiteboards. DSC_0121 Mark roughly where the gauge lines will run with the gauge and then run the marking or mortise gauge over the marked area.

DSC_0124 This works if you are sawing along the grain…

DSC_0130 If you pare-cut from side grain…

DSC_0129 …and if you split cut from endgrain.
