Does anyone know where I can get a plan to make my own marking gauge? I’ll need to know where to buy hardware for it also.

MFG,
A plan I have not seen. However, in the December issue of FWW on page 66 they discuss and show a few homemade marking tools which were used to mark a piece of inlay work. The metal materials appear to be old pieces of saw blade and x-acto blades. Hope this helps
The November or December WOOD magazine had one in it. I think that issue is still available on the shelf.
I've seen at least two articles on shop made marking gauges in FWW over the years. It might be worth searching the magazine index.

MK,
In The Woodwright's Companion, pp. 99-103, Roy Underhill discusses making different sorts of marking gauges. No hardware required--except a snipped nail or two.

Thanks everyone, that should be all I need to find what I want.
If not, check the August 2001 edition of Fine Woodworking.Chris
