In this video, Paul shows how to make a simple tool which he has been using all his working life. This screw in a block can be used as a beading tool or a marking gauge and is useful in many situations.
Beading & Marking Tool Variations
The simple poor man’s beading and marking tool can be adapted for other applications, such as a more specific beading tool or a gauge to mark out mortices or hinge recesses.
Thanks Paul, I already have the one screw marking tool but now I will make a two screw marking/mortis tool.

Thank you, you are sharing a treasure trove of knowledge!
Loving it! Simple yet effective.
Totally LOVE your work!! Simplicity and the noise of the wood. THE MAN!! 😉
I can see that this tool would be useful, also, for marking a depth line in an interior opening such as in a relief carving. Thanks for another marvelously simple woodworking tool. Jim
Paul as you said, Perfect!
great tips, i’m gonna need a tool box just for the “poor mans” range of tools keep them coming thanks
Wow! That bead was so quick to make and looks great!
Thanks Paul for your wonderful “poor-man’s tool series” – it’s always inspiring!
Paul I love these simple “handmade tools”, I made the single screw one a while back but will ad a few double screws to the arsenal.
Thanks for sharing !

Thanks for the practical insight – you make it seem so easy
I really like the simplicity of this tool!
This is brilliant! Thank you!
Great tool in a pinch!
Brilliant and simple. the subscription value gets better and better. Thanks Paul and the team.
Brilliant use of commonly available items. Makes you wonder why you did not think of it yourself.
Thank you for sharing with us.
I made the first tool with 1 screw – now i will make one with 2 screws! – Thanks again Paul -excellent.
So clever!
Speachless! This is a way of original thinking. Outside the box and the toolindustry.
Paul, your ‘poor man’s’ beading tool is fantastic and very easy to make. I made it and now I have gone bead crazy. Keep them coming.
Great i will make some thanks paul.
Thank You Paul ! I am so glad i found you, I am just about to retire and I’ve thinking in doing carpentry, of course I need some guideness and help, going to school for that is like wasting 80% of the time. You are a thru master carpenter and just by watching a few of your videos a learned quit a bit , I’m looking forward to a full membership.
I ‘m speechless with the greatness of your simplicity!!! Maybe I am the newest member of your company. I ‘m a starter but i ‘ll try very hard to create something from wood. Regards from a beautiful island of Greece!!!
I’m amazed Veritas haven’t approached you for the rights to produce it commercially!
Simple ideas are the best… Thank you
I love the videos that make tools. Absolutely a joy to watch.
very nice! Thanks
