DIY Scribe
I saw this made on a youtube channel I watch sometimes. I just had to have one myself. This will help me mark things. It is made out of .25 inch common brass. The scribe part is nothing more than a 19 gauge (1mm) thick sewing needle. The eye of the needle was removed about a .5 inches as the needle was rather long. The rest of it - no plans, just eye-balled it until I liked it. I have a knurling tool that made the knurling. A parting tool to decorate the other end.
In case something happens to tip, just put in another needle. Used a slightly oversized drill of course drilled about .5 inches into taper tip. Used RED threadlocker for the needle. Overall, a little more than one hour job. The taper for the tip is set to about 5 °.
