A shorter course in woodworking; a practical manual for home and school . Fig. 20 A Protractor can also beused for obtaining any de-sired angle. See under Square, page 9,and also page 226. 9. The Gauge is used todraw lines parallel to an has a block, called the head,stock, or fence, to slide againstthe edge of the wood, and abar, beam, or stem, whichpasses through the block, andcan be set by a thumb-screw to project to the distance required. Aspur or marking-point is inserted near the end of the bar, which has the Fig. 21 12 A Shorter Course in Woodworking divisions of a rulemarked upon it, bywhich to set the spur,but it is more accu-rate to measure withthe rule from thehead of the gauge tothe point of the spur(Fig. 27). It is bet-ter to sharpen thespur to an edge par-allel with the head(Fig. 24) rather thanto a point. ^. Fig. 22 1 6 • See that the spur projects from j\ to^-^j Hold gauge and rule as in Fig. 26.

Push the end of thepiece of wood to be gauged againstthe bench-stop or some other firmobject. Hold the gauge as in Fig. 28 in front of you and tip it fromyou so that the spur will be drawn along the siu-face and make onlya slight mark. Keep the head of the gauge firmly pressed against theedge of the wood and push the tool steadily from you. V Fig. 23 Fig. 24 The spur will make a better line when slightly convex on the side toward thehead (Fig. 25), This helps to keep the head close to the wood. In getting out stock for nice work, if the gauge is set exactly at the given distance,when the gauge-mark is planed out afterwards, the piece will be slightly smaller thanintended, so allow for the width of the gau
