Marking Gauge Update // The Flipper Strikes Back

The Marking Gauge is a unique part of history. I've used a number of cutters, but I really like having a sharpened pencil line to lay out marks. This is an update to the video I made about 6 months ago, removing the magnet and adding a flipper.

you always make it look so simple, when it's not. Beautiful piece all together now
hope another awl video will come up soon, you are always full of ideas

[@MCsCreations]

Great idea, Rob! Nicely done! 😃
But you know, I kept thinking... There should be a way to cannibalize the part that holds the lead of a divider... 🤔
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

The Flipper, eh? Okay. Cheers Rob, I enjoyed that.

The drill press section couldn’t see what you were doing.Light direction thanks for your efforts 👍

[@suzisaintjames]

I like it. If you wanted just a scratch, you could cut a piece of brad nail and replace the pencil lead. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@lourias]

... but you can erase pencil marks... perhaps he has a replacement nail for when he needs to scrap the wood. LoL. Rob is funny..

[@NavinBetamax]

If you drill head-on on the square rod and tap it .....will hold longer lead without having to make the wood stopper I
