re: Mortise gauge
Oldtool.. the one thing I didn't mention is sharpening it so it cuts nice. First of all you use a slotted flat head screw.
Then you take a file and back and forth across the top flat of the head until the circumference edge is thin and sharp. Also you don't want to file down to a point where the slot becomes useless.
