Waterline Marking Tool

[bikepunk]

As my son no spends more time reading car magazines then legos, I have acquired some of his legos for use. Recenlty I used some to make a watereline marking jig for my Hermione La Fayette build. Used some wire to hold the pencil tight, the nubs in the legos held the pencil nice and square.

I do love innovation.
What a brilliantly simple and functional idea.

genius in simplicity. Everything should be made as simple as possible. But not simpler. (Albert Einstein)

Yes it is a very good and simple idea
I do not know how thick the Lego-blocks are, I guess the smallest appr. 5mm - means with this you can produce levels in steps of 5mm correctness.
=> if more accuracy is necessary you could produce a simple wooden block and cut it to the correct height
