How to Make a Height Scribe | Knife Maker's Surface Gauge

After being inspired by @KyleRoyerKnives and @NickWheeler33 I decided to make this little tool for marking my handles, guards, and edge lines. So far I've found that this little tool is more convenient than a center scribe or a drill bit for marking your edge and it's more versatile since it gives you the ability to mark handle materials and other items.

Great build! At first I didn't see where you were going but when you put it on the 3/2/1 block.... genius!

[Aleeknives]

Perfect tool, lots of Versatility! I use one of these exclusively at my shop for every single build. I find it especially helpful for creating my final grind lines on hidden Tang knife guards. Nick wheeler has a great video on how to use that tool for different processes in knife-making. Great build in great video man!

This is awesome! I have everything but the aluminum on hand already, and I could definitely use one of these, so I'll have to whip one up. Thanks for the video!

Great Job mate! your spot on with the Ali chip loading, and its great to see you using Wd40 for lube. if you wan cheaper you can use Kero in a spray bottle. remember when drilling - if you drill your pilot a bit bigger than the web of your final size you can do it in 3 ops. spot drill, pilot, then main size.

[larryleek]

Thanks!! I'm going to make one real soon.

[MrSoloun]

Yea great stuff, it's simple but can be used for so much, the best type of tool, thanks for that.

[stevemorris]

I’m a machinist, 40 plus years, this is awesome, I have a starrett height gage but I really like this one, if I may make a suggestion you wouldn’t have to walk up when drilling small holes just put a small center drilled holed to keep drill from walking & have at it, run drills in aluminum at higher rpm’s w/ a little coolant, I am a subscriber, Thankyou for all the videos & May God Bless. P.S. my beard is gray & black mostly gray lol
