Panel Gauge Pictures (with pics)

>Here�s an update on my panel gauge (following on from this thread: (Dave Anderson Panel Gauge Thread) � sorry it took so long to get the pictures, I had to wait for the roll of film to be finished�
I made an error in my dimensions � the head is actually 9-1/2� long, and I don�t think I�d want to make it any shorter or any longer.
This was a really easy and enjoyable project. I used to cheat a bit and use the tablesaw to get the second edge of a board parallel to the first edge, but now I don�t have to � I use the panel gauge to mark a parallel line, and then plane to the line. Much more enjoyable, if a bit slower, than the tablesaw.
As I said in the previous thread, I based my panel gauge one of Rob Cosman�s that I was able to use. He has a spanky new website (Rob Cosman), and I see that he has started selling these under the �Products� page (no affiliation, etc). Here�s a link to a good shot of the components � Rob is a better photographer than I am:
