Hi there, Bob,

That refurbish is coming along well.          

The rod for my scribing block has a wheel on one end.  It's a bit like a cross between a glass cutter wheel and the wheel in a pipe cutter.
I don't know what it's for - can anyone lighten my darkness?          
I'd put up a photo but the ferry from the house to the workshop isn't running at the moment!
