Sliding bevel gauge is an adjustable gauge for setting and transferring angles. It does not require a lot of material so it can be made of any remaining wood and the structure of the tool is very simple, it could be made quite quickly.
I cut 2 thin slices of wood, one for the handle and the other for the blade. I cut the first one into 2 parts and cut down a small piece in 45 degrees from the blade. I glued them together to have the handle. After I made several holes in the blade to get the sliding are. At this moment it looked like this:
The most difficult thing was to find a special screw which can be twisted easily by hand. After some searching I found a proper one. I applied some oil on the wood and put it together.
