A lot of creative thinking gives a quick and dirty version of a dimple tool by @twojs.bike

I decided to get creative with what I could find laying around. I used a BMX style stem and a small piece of steel rod to squeeze in the dimples.

I am pleased with the results so far. I may need to make them a little longer and deeper. I also still need to do the seat stays.

I would love to have a dedicated tool for this, but this works.

Thanks @SwissGuy I meant to do that, but it slipped my mind. Great hack

Some rulers just aren't the right size. Do you ever need a special length ruler or one that fits in a specific space? Or a ruler you know is going to get damaged, messed up (or whatever) and then gets tossed aside? Upon occasion, I'll have a tape measure that gets bent, creased, weak rewind spring, etc, etc. So I take a pair of scissors and snip off the length needed to accomplish the task at hand.
