    Scrap bin scribe

    Hi folks

    I had a collection of broken items that when combined together, made a neat carbide scribe.




    The scribe tip was made from the shaft of a broken carbide slot mill, the end of which I ground down to a fine point. The handle/shaft(?) came from a crappy scalpel set which had come with a plastic collet that had broken in seconds, so I dug out a short drop of 1/4" round I'd put in the swarf bin from some other project and copied the plastic one as close as I could and used a hand hacksaw to cut the four splits in the collet.

    It's not the destination but the journey you take to get there that matters.
