    How to Make a Simple Scribe



    Nothing too complicated with this tool. Just some scrap 1/8 stainless rod stock, with some scrap maple (or whatever wood you have on hand) and you can make this handy little tool.

    For me personally I use a scribe often since I have a bad habit of overhandling the wood while I'm doing my layout and I hate smudging my pencil lines. Plus it really helps to establish a knife wall for sawing etc...

    There's no "right" way to make a scribe, just use what you have and I'm sure you'll be fine. This one I'll relegate to using on darker woods where pencil lines might not show up and I might not have chalk on hand.

    Anyways, enjoy!

    Hi Dan. Nice tool!
    Question: When would I use a Scribe vs a Marking Knife?

    Thanks!
