Makers Cabinet Iris Precision Circle Drawing Tool
The tool that made Makers Cabinet's name. It is a compass rebuilt around a camera-style aperture: one twist opens the iris to any diameter between 3 and 70mm, and it holds that setting while you draw around it.
Because the size stays put, concentric work, arcs and shaded gradients all happen without changing tools or measuring twice. Solid brass with stainless steel leaves, and a dark walnut centring tool to locate the middle of the circle. The action is the part people remember — smooth, mechanical and oddly satisfying to work.

Trade notes
The brand's signature line and the piece most customers arrive looking for — stock it before anything else. Sells on demonstration: the aperture action does the work, so site it where staff can pick it up rather than in a sealed case. Strong architecture, design and illustration crossover, and a reliable higher-ticket gift at Christmas and graduation. Pairs with the Iris Sheath for an attachment sale.
