I'm going to give that a try. Currently using marking blue and a scribe. I guess a permanent marker will cost me less.

For general marking out I used Omnichrome pencils - I think it's used by the clothing industry a lot, but cannot find them locally anymore so reverted back to soapstone markers. Saves me a few pennies as well.

Anything to save money. Recently quit buying WD40. Am just using a mixture of compressor oil and turps and spray it on whichever surface I want lubricated/rust protected. Seems to work.
