How to Use a Marking Gauge CORRECTLY
In this video, I show you how to use a marking gauge correctly as well as share some extra tips and pointers to help you with your woodworking. Accurate measuring and marking is an essential skill when it comes to fine woodworking. It doesn't matter how good you are with a saw or a chisel, if your layout is inaccurate every operation after will be inaccurate too.

🕵️♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea and I’m a Woodworker from Basingstoke, England. My aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years of TRAINING at Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford, 5 years of experience WORKING at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke, and 3 years TEACHING both day classes and evening classes at Rycotewood Furniture Centre. All while trying to get this YouTube thing off the ground.
By September 2021, I packed it all in to focus on YouTube and my business full-time.
Want to know more about how I crammed all this experience into such a short period of time? See my experience and qualifications here:
