What does a marking gauge look like?
A marking gauge is the most common type of gauge used for marking. It uses a small pin, sometimes referred to as a spur, to mark the wood when the tool is dragged across it. In its early form, the marking gauge was simply two pieces of wood attached together with a pin through one end for marking.

To make a mortise and tenon joint, always cut the mortise first because it’s much easier to cut the tenon to fit an existing mortise than the other way around.
