Hi amboy,

You can source soap stone marker from your local hardware store..pag rough marking mo gagamitin ok yan..but when presicion marking is needed i always use scribe..
Hindi nabubura,maliit lang yung mark na na iguguhit nya kaya ang margin of error almost zero..:)

Simple pointed metal na pwede lang panguhit sa bakal..
Yung gamit ko DIY lang..broken drill bit na nilagyan ko lang ng handle
Then hinasa ko sa bench grinder yung tip para tumulis..

Si sir jay meron nyan..carbide tip pa..

HI there bro amboy,

For your scribe, if you can get a piece of a stainless steel rod,about 6 mm in diameter or 10 mm in diameter and perhaps about 8 or 12 inches in length, this would be a good substitute as your scribe, you just have to sharpen on end tip to a pin point sharpness, then add a handle if you prefer and there, you now have an instant scribe, stainless steel is a tough and hard steel.

See if you can get even a scrap piece ! 😉 :p

Re: About soapstone marker

Well bro, glad to know you were able to get your much needed soapstones. Are you here in MANILA now, I thought you are in Baguio.

Just curious. hehehe
