I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but in the process of trying to find another plan to make a mortise gauge I discovered several interesting sites. (I also found out that a British company sells its mortise gauge for --sit down--235 pounds. Makes L-N look like HF.)
This site not only has plans for several gauges, it has lots of information about mortise gauge and marking knife theory, and very detailed stuff about the principles of working with hand tools:

Here's an extremely detailed article, with both theory and how-to, by Ian Kirby about marking with gauges (shares perfection spirit with Rod, maybe they are related):
Woodworker's Journal Marking Tools
This site has probably been mentioned here several times but here it is anyway. Lots of sources of hand tools and info about them:
