I have a question? What could I used to scribe the doors back into the body side, a hacksaw blade is too thick, a scriber is to fine what does every body use SENSIBLE answers please (Dunkers, Osbad, Doggers take note)
Oi! I object to that... anyone who asks a sensible question gets a sensible answer....what does every body use SENSIBLE answers please (Dunkers, Osbad, Doggers take note)
Olfa cutter. Works very well. It actually cuts a groove rather than plough a groove like a scriber. A light first cut can be very fine. Use repeated cuts to get deeper, wider grooves.

I most strongly resemble that remark.I have a question? What could I used to scribe the doors back into the body side, a hacksaw blade is too thick, a scriber is to fine what does every body use SENSIBLE answers please (Dunkers, Osbad, Doggers take note)
Warning of a sensible answer!!!!I have a question? SENSIBLE answers please...
Very sensible, very helpful.Warning of a sensible answer!!!!
see - a sensible answer, no problem.
And cost you diddly squat into the bargain.Nice one mate that will solve my problem
Actually, that is better than the Olfa or equivalent, as it is cheaper, easier to renew, but also, you could grind one side of the vee away, so that when scribing wagon planks, you can get the distinctive bevel edge to the top of the plank, but square edge to the bottom of the one above.I made a tool for producing plank lines ("gaps") more than twenty years ago... before the Olfa equivalent came to the British shores I think.... from a scraperboard pen. As bought the nib of the scraperboard pen is too wide for the intended use in 7mm although maybe more suitable for 10mm. I ground the two sides of the "V" shape of the nib to reduce the angle between the sides at the point of the nib and thereby reduce the width of groove which results from using the tool. After grinding the two sides I restored the cutting edge by using a carborundum slip stone.
Total price about £1 for the pen plus about thirty minutes of my time to produce and test the shape.
Eh?Well more progress this week, due to gardening leave.
