Nice work. Looks like a handy gauge.

nope - not today....Really nice...!
...and it gets rid of the "thousands" mentality...
Dan, it is just a sheared edge on the brass strips. A slight radius to square where the shear cuts down. The steel ruler just guides on the brass.Sweet! I can't quite make out the edge detail on that brass strip...is it beveled, like a dovetail, or does it overlap the ruler?
That is a good point, Chuck. The ruler would be handy for a depth gauge to check mortises.Excellent job Herb. If you only used it to directly transfer a height to your saw or router table you wouldn't even have to incorporate the ruler. You could use setup bars for setting heights for dadoes and rabbets.
