That scribe is Veritas. It's 140 euros on Amazon. It's a good one, very precise. It can be used for skirting board or any scribing you need to do. Indelible pencils are hard to find. Especially hard core pencils.Your missus sounds like a diamond.
Is the fella you had a falling out with the one in the photo with the scribing tool? Funnily enough I was going to ask you for a link to that tool because I've never seen one like that. It looks quite intriguing.
Did a bit of scribing recently with a new Tracer scribing tool that I ordered online. Absolute rubbish. Went back to using a block of wood instead and got much better results.
I know what you mean about the age thing. Sometimes we get a bit long in the tooth for the stubborn BS of others but I've often found that even at our extended years when a bunch of blokes get together on a project a bit of the old competition can creep back in. I hope you manage to sort things out; coping or not (coping's something I find difficult to get right, especially with things like taurus and/or OG skirting board!!!). It looks like a fun build.
Can you explain using a piece of wood and how that works? Probably not for scribing logs.
One of the first log homes I built, I was taught by an elderly gentleman using a tri square with a level on it. Find the widest gap between the logs, mark it on the square, keeping it level, every half inch around the log, make a dot on the log. After that connect all the dots and that's the area you cut out. Worked perfectly, logs sat tight. Now that wasn't a full scribe house.
