Were you employed in Aberdeen while using this tool?

Looks like you got it juggler. I just found a vid where they were using one on a rolling table.

And we have a winner. Way to go juggler. The tool is called a mouse. and it is only used for scribing lines, although I have seen people misuse them for other things.
PM me your address Juggler. I'll try to get a box of slabs out on Monday.
When I was employed at Fleetwood Motor Homes design studio, I ran a one man metal prototype shop. When there were no metal parts to make, I went oover to the clay studio to help out. They made full scale Clay front and rear caps for motor homes. From the full size clay models, plaster molds were made. From those molds, Fiberglass master molds were made, and the actual production parts were made in the fiberglass molds.
If someone hadn't gotten it soon, I was going to give the hint, Think Computer. As in computer mouse.

These tools were used off of very precision magnesium alloy beams and angle blocks. Before starting on the actual model, the beams and blocks were shot in with a surveyors transit, using a target rod that was marked in hundredths of an inch. All very precision work. It was interesting, being able to help out in the clay studio. I learned a lot of neat stuff.

Another coming probably tomorrow. I'm trying to decide between 2 objects which to use.
But for today I'm going to take a break and do some cutting.

Missed all the excitement yesterday, STILL finishing up truck. ARRGGG!
WTG, jugglerguy, good call! Don, I can see why you said there were some people dancing all over the answer, as scribing lines was definitely mentioned earlier. I think maybe if we had established modeling clay (not pottery clay) earlier, it might have been guessed sooner. Sounds like it was a fun part of your job.
Great game, BTW. I also like to think that this is a guessing game, not to see who is the master Googler. Google may (or may not) get you the answer, but guessing is funner!
LOL! Glad that you are enjoying them, Don, and keep them coming! Jean
