A line holder for securing a chalking line to a work piece that is to be marked for cutting, comprising:a planar body defining a first opening in a portion thereof near a first distal end for receiving a portion of a chalking line therethrough, whereby the chalking line is secured to the planar body, and defining a second opening spaced-apart therefrom; a spring-biased member joined to the planar body at a fixed end and having two substantially perpendicular bends defined in distal portions of the member to orient a pointed tip at a distal free end towards the first opening, said member aligned with the second opening, the member biased to a first position with the tip aligned with the planar body and the member selectively moveable to a second position with the tip extended through the second opening for engaging a side edge of a work piece to be marked by the chalk line upon lateral movement of the line holder in a direction towards the first opening.
