Woodshop Feeler Gauge

Woodshop Feeler Gauge

An automotive feeler gauge can serve double-duty as a handy woodshop tool. When grinding the bevel on a chisel or plane iron, set two of the blades to the angle you want, tighten the locking nut, then use it to check your grinding progress. When laying out dovetails, set one blade of the feeler gauge to the correct angle and use it like a template to scribe the dovetails.
