Hi Harry
Thanks
I was looking at the combination veritas gauge (mortice gauge) and I had concluded that a mortice gauge/veritas combination gauge, was vital for the job of cutting mortice and tenons.
I think you could also use the combination gauge as a single gauge too?
I have not done any joinery/carpentry before.
I’m building up tools to give it a go. This tool seems like a vital first step, along with some chisels and sharpening stones. I’m glad I was able to work out (with any knowledge) that there was something wrong with my current mortice gauge.
Maybe a good sign lol
I wil also need to buy a few planes.
As far as I’m aware, I need a 4/4.5 plane but I couldn’t find a video where Paul goes through what plane sizes do and what different planes do.
For example the difference between a 4″ smoothing plane and a 4″ standard.
I wish there was a video of someone going through this in detail. Perhaps I’ll put it as a suggestion on Pauls future video requests, although that could take some time.
