For 2 years as amateur woodworker marking gauges were one of the essential tools in my list that i was missing. I couldnt find someone in my country using this type of tools neither they were available in stores, and purchasing online wasnt worth because of vat and postal services. So finaly i decided to try and make one.

The fence is beech and handle is oak. I had problems with the oak cracking when adding the nails. So I think oak its not good option when working small pieces.
The sliding piece except for moving f&b, has a self locking system independent from the fence screw. Next on the list will be cutting and marking gauge.
