Fast and Easy to build Scribing Tool

**Sam's Workshop Diary** · Feb 3, 2019, 05:27 AM

I have build a scribing needle out of an broken drill bit. It's very easy to build and very practically, if you don't have a scriber yet, like me.

What kind of oil/finish did you soak it in? Nice job!

Thank you! I used simple linseed oil.

Looks spiffy, what was the immersion vacuum process for?

It's only for a better penetration with the oil, but not really necessary.
