Woodsmith Shop-Made Marking Knives Plans

Step-by-step instructions, exploded views, materials list, and more—these plans have everything you need to build your own Shop-Made Marking Knives.

When it comes to creating a layout, it's hard to beat the crisp line you get with a marking knife. And making your own set of knives gives you an opportunity to learn a little metalworking while adding a new level of precision to all your layouts. With the right steel and a few straightforward techniques, the knives are surprisingly easy to make.

You can purchase the Woodsmith Shop-Made Marking Knives standard plan or the supplemental premium shop drawings as a downloadable PDF or in a printed format that we ship to you. We highly recommend purchasing both the standard plan and the supplemental premium shop drawings for more in-depth instructions and greater detail.
