bob493 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Maple and bubinga handle. Turned the aluminum rod on my drill press and cut it on table saw. Initially was trying to use a pencil, but it just had too much slop, so i put in a dowel and centered a carbide cutter from a cricut machine. Very pleased with the result, gives a nice, clean line. Also.. whats the "real" name of this tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 If anyone can make one my bet is for h3nry to figure it out ! Even if he has to build or borrow a drill press to do it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 If the scribe was carbide, you could scribe an alignment line down the center back of your mortise chisel, and you would be good to go putting a mortise in the center of anything.
