New scriber design

[philip sewell]

As a lot of woodworkers are using the Pica and Tracer pencils I’ve designed a new scriber which will hold these pencils. Here are some pics of the final product.

Very nice design and look -are you planning to market your design or is it just for your personal use

Perfect, that was the only thing stopping me buying one. Now I will definitely get one.

The postie dropped one off the other day and I have to say that I'm very pleased with it indeed. It feels great in the hand, and, above all, it locks both the pivot and pencil firmly in place; I say this having bought the Tracer scriber which does neither (even with their very own pencil)

I've added more functionality to the scriber range with a base attachment for scribing more intricate shapes.
For anyone interested there are a couple of vids on this page of me scribing skirting and some brickwork.
It's takes a bit a practice to use but it does give good results.

That looks like a very handy addition Phil. A minor thing is the "Buy your profile base attachment here" links are linking to the very same info page rather than the shop listing page here.

Thanks for pointing these errors out Nelsun.

I made quite a few alterations over the weekend and these slipped through the net!

Sorted now.

I like the look of it. I tried to view the vids though but was taken to a login page.

Thanks David, I've just checked and they are loading ok for me so not sure what's going on there!

The problem with any scribe using a pencil is that the offset changes very fast as the lead wears.

That is the reason why I stick to my old scribes with iron points scratching the wood. I have pondered about a solution for quite some time and not been abe to come up with anything so far.
