Profile scribes can be a vital tool when installing shelves or trim on an uneven wall. If you just cut your wood square, your project will be left with ugly gaps. Some people impromptu-scribe very well by simply running a pencil or protractor along the wall and work piece. I find that method to be a little awkward and tricky to do accurately. Luckily the folks at Garrett Wade tools have a fancy-pants scribing tool made in England of all places. The scribe features a metal pencil with four assorted wheels up to 3.5″ that rotate around the pencil. It is not the cheapest option, but then handy tools rarely are. Looks like a great alternative to the impromptu-scribe method. The profile scribe is available for about $30 at Garrett Wade.
