Easy Wood Scriber Gauge

Recommended Posts

Material I used, all of it was around my basement

 

A: Block hardwood 2" by 4" by 1" thick could be 3/4"

B: 3/4" Dowel Pin by 8 inches long

C: Short Wood Pencil

 

D: Drill 3/4 Hole 1-1/4" down on center, on the 2" by 4" block. It holds the dowel pin

E: On the dowel pin one inch from the end drill 19/64 hole. It will hold the pencil stub nice and tight

F: Optional  You can drill a hole for a 1/4- 20 tap for a set screw on the side of the block, to snug the dowel pin

     I used some masking tape on the dowel pin and it works just fine, nice and snug I used two layers of masking tape

 

I use it to find centers for my holes and to draw parallel line on my plugs

Okay, I'm lost Gino. Not being an educated woodworker, I have absolutely no clue how this would be used but the things u said it does, I need help with doing. Can u show or explain how this tool is used? I stared at it for several minutes and achieved nothing but proving to myself that I may be an idiot.

Some times it is hard to see what a tool does, Basically will find and draw centers or parallel lines

I use it to find center line top of bait or draw parallel lins on the dides if I am shaving some wood off the side the lines give me a guide. when you want to find a center line let say the bait is one inch thick, the center should be 1/2 set the pencil at 1/2 from the side of the scriber now make your first small mark flip on the other side if on center the pencil mark should fall on the first pencil mark if not try again until it falls on center , usually 3 tries for centers. Note in pic 4 on purpose i scribed two short lines to give you the idea that on the third try I was on center

pictures are worth 1000 words

I could have used this earlier tonight on a lure template. Pretty darned smart Gino, thank you for posting, explaining and taking pics. I just didn't get it until the pics showing It in use. I will get immediate use out of this as soon as I build it. Thanks so much for posting.
