Scribe tools -for site fitting of fitted furniture

[RobinBHM]

I wondered if anybody had a preferred tool they use or a little jig they use to do this

I am doing more installation work and this week had to scribe around some Ogee skirting

do you pro site fitters out there use a tool or use an offcut on site or.....

TIA

I have used an Easyscribe for years - it is very nice to use (one-handed) - there is lots written about it - I wouldn’t be without it https://www.amazon.co.uk/Trend-SCRIBE-Easy-scribe-Scribing/dp/B00H5PWUX8

I don’t think mine is Trend branded, but it’s the same thing.

You may have to finesse the scribe around deep recesses eg on skirting as the guide is a flat blade rather than a point.

I use a compass, works just fine if you're careful, the best one I've seen is the log scriber by veritas.

How much money do you have ?. I do like the look of this.

Compass for me, detailed scribes need something with a point.

One day I will buy a Veritas log scribe, surprised I have never seen a knock off version, it's one of those things you would expect to find on Banggod for about £20

This one gets good reviews. With the profile attachment you can scribe brick work, mouldings etc. Made by some big eared bloke in Leicestershire apparently.

That big eared bloke is you Philip.

Have to say - I've always done scribing with a hand held pencil, perhaps using knuckle as a spacer etc. Sometimes hold pencil on a scrap of wood.
There are many different ways to hold a pencil!

Like to see someone scribe a kitchen cabinet panel around a skirting board using that. It also doesn't take into account the angle of the wall the skirting is fixed to, not all walls are plumb.

I think it does. The jig can be angled to produce a matching angle. Seems to show that at the middle to end of the vid.
