Marking Gauges (videos)
Woodworkers require a means of creating a fine and clearly visible line on their workpieces to facilitate precise cuts. The ancient marking gauge has been the answer for a very long time and still works perfectly today. Building one's own also makes for an excellent project. See these videos for a few examples:
