Needed to do some scribing in the field and had an idea for my own little custom scribe tool. Calling this a prototype, but will probably never make another one. Quality could have been better but I just kinda winged this by hand. I drilled the lead replacement tube into the end and just used a tube from one of my protractor sets. Would have liked a nicer one but "prototype" so it didn't matter. It has 4 holes for adjustment to move the lead and is clamped in place with the connector bolt. Downside is you have to use an allan wrench to change it, but that won't bother me much.
Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.
Thanks All, I've been using a pencil taped to wood for years, I also have one of those fast cap compass looking scribes. I think this will be my go to from now on. I was working on one to be 3d printed but decided not to pursue it so if any of you all are interested, here is the basic idea. Still needs refinement though. Has different tips for different widths.
