Re: Wood scribe
Ya know Pitchy I have been thing about making one of those for myself! If I find one in the antique joints they are usually beat to death and way too much money. Guess I better get some shop projects done and get on the stick!

Re: Wood scribe
Pitchy,
I had to look that up to see what a wood scribe is....and I still don't know the use of it is......yea.....been living under a rock....the Winchester and Colt rock my whole life.
I'm so used to using a pin punch and a sharpened nail I never learned the use of finer tools.
A craftsman you are........far more than any hobbyist. I learn something new everyday.----6

Re: Wood scribe
Fine work, again, Pitchy.
I have some of my grandfather's old woodworking tools. He did carpentry on the side back when he was Maine Game Warden.
On a side note, when I opened one of his homemade wooden toolboxes I found a brass, U.S. marked, 54cal. Buck and Ball mold. Pretty neat. Have no idea where he got it.

"Oh bother", said Pooh, as he chambered another round.

Re: Wood scribe
Also known as a Marking Gauge Six. Set it for a set distance, say 1" and that scribe point will cut a line into anything you pull it across. Repeatability when making many of the same thing. Great for lay out on tenons or mortises. Have also seen some that cut a slight profile for mouldings. Some with 2 scribes.
I really gotta get Dad's Flag Memorial and his urn finished, but it's kinda hard on the emotional side!

Re: Wood scribe
Yeah, wood scribes are very useful, got a couple of my Dads old ones (he was a great woodworker) one has two scribes in it for mortise and tenon work

A man who can make his own tools can make anything. But we knew that about you, Lenn!

Re: Wood scribe
I still use the folding rulers all the time. I use them with a little peashooter level to shoot grade when I am drilling, in order to shoot a flat finished grade.
