Went to the shed this morning to make a pen and ended up with this, Remembered when i put a bit of wood on the lathe that i have lost my depth thingie, so i ended up with this!

Some call it a Depth gauge but i like the high tec name!

I have a U shaped depth gauge one end has a point on it, the other end has a laser pen aimed directly at the point. When i touch either the side or bottom with the point the laser registers it on the outside of the bowl. and if you run it up the inside it shows the different wall thicknesses. works great.

I must make one sometimes as I get a but fed up of using my finger, yep is is as deep as the first joint

 

[Grump]

What a wonderful thingy you have, enjoy playing with it init?

 

[mattyts]

I did a similiar thing but I used the knock out rod and just stuck a bar going across it

Well made BH, i like how you have segmented the handle, makes it more definitive lol ..

 

[chas_41_uk]

Possibly a bit OTT for a depth gauge thingy
but very nice

 

[brody2123]

Very posh thingy you have there sir!!

 

[paulm]

Well I've allways used guessodepth with a chisel before. I guess one of these is on the cards now... Thanks for showing but mine won't be segmented in any way or form.

Well I have admitted i do need help!

 

[Grump]

Nice to know I am not the only one who never thinks to use the vernier gauge that is next to my hand init?

 

[wm460]

Very well made and thought out.

 

[bassethound]

Very well made and thought out.

What's this thought out thing lol!

I think the segmenting serves a useful purpose: if Terry ever comes visiting and tries to half-inch it he'll have a job claiming he has one just like it so his 'confusion' was perfectly understandable ...
