A ruler marking gauge/ruler stopper is an essential woodworking tool every workshop should have. It is easy to make using ordinary tools around the shop. You will need only a few things to build this DIY tool yourself - discarded wood, a threaded insert, and a wing nut. Watch the entire video for a step-by-step guide on how to make a ruler marking gauge.

I started out by cutting 2 rectangles from scrap wood that form the basis for the ruler marking tool. Sanded in a dado (groove) on one piece to fit the ruler in using a homemade sanding jig and sanded a tighter one on the other piece for the acrylic glass that presses against and fixes the ruler in place. I fixed the acrylic glass to the wood piece using epoxy resin. Drilled a hole in, used a threaded insert, and screwed in a wing nut.
