Really fed up breaking normal pencils when drawing circles. Made this & when I took it to the club many guys were interested, so thought I would share it here.

Slot for pencil is a small piece of Jarrah drilled with 2 holes in line & chiselled to fit. The point is a masonry nail.331553331554331555
This one is for a "carpenters" pencil which are about 25 x 7mm oblong, & is just a push fit.

Thanks for that Col, I like the idea of using the carpenters pencil and the measurements on the arms, are they radii's?:2tsup:
