[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]
A marking gauge is used by craftsmen to mark parallel lines spaced from a fixed margin, usually the face side or edge of the workpiece. It consists of a rectangular stick with a small point projecting from one end, which scratches the line, and a sliding wooden block, which can be fixed in place by a wedge, to set the distance of the mark from the margin. This marking gauge belonged to Mr W. W. Field, a wheelwright in Winson, Gloucestershire. Mr Field retired circa 1960 and the business closed.
