Hi all!
Does anyone know where I can source replacement pins for marking guages (in the UK)?
Hi Chris
You bin hidding for a time
The scrib pin in a squar is good or a small drill bit,a peice of hard wire. Or a hobby knife , the point from a compus. Look around in the junk box at home and at work.

Hi Chris
Have you tried the nails/pins you get in picture hooks, these generally are hardened and make good scribing pins
Cheers
Thanks all for the advice. Looks like I can “up-cycle” something from my box of random fixings! I’ve definitely got some old picture hooks lying around, so might try that.
Thanks!
