Inspired by European dividers from centuries past, Craig made this pencil compass for drawing circles and artisanal geometry. The hinge joint was the biggest challenge, he says. “It was a real conundrum on my first (and second) attempt.”

Veritas Precision Square
This precision square is incredibly versatile, from checking squareness to dialing in machine setups.
Marking knife: Hock Double-Bevel Violin Knife, 3/4 in.
This heavy, double-beveled knife stays on track in all directions, and works just fine without adding a handle.
Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
