How come you guys don’t use marking gages, like the cabinet makers do?

Hi. New member here. I initially like the idea of the extra wood to go in the vice but I noticed it cause problems because of its shape being held in the vice. Also it was difficult to get the shear end accurate. I wondered if it wouldn’t be better to add a 2×2 or 2×6 to the aft side of it so that you can mount it horizontally and have perfect range of lateral movement then, just undo the screws and you’re all set and done.

Happen to be building the Yankee Tender, 12.5 feet, almost in synch with your videos on the ‘beautiful skiff.’ Just cut out the stems from plywood patterns yesterday. A very nice coincidence. thanks.
