Veritas Carpenter's Gauge fix

I bought my Veritas Carpenter's Gauge many years ago, so warranty replacement or repair was out of the question when the pencil holder broke. What does a 3D designer who owns a 3D printer do? You make a replacement. While I was at it, I improved it. The pencil holder part is more robust and has three mounting holes for 3mm screws with bolts. The old one only had a through rivet.
