Size of the HOLE doesn't matter, just the thickness of the rim of the
washer - unless you find a washer that has a hole so small that ONLY
the very point of the pencil fits. In all other cases the size of the
hole is irrevelant

Neat! There's something new every day.

Vary the size of the washer to vary the offset from the scribing
surface

Problem: the hole varies in size also.
