You left out the step of spending a long time sharpening the hatchet because you took off all of the edge.
Naw, we never sharpen that hatched. Attrition says we will loose one about every 1-3 yrs. So, it's fast, and it works good. We loose them before we need to sharpen.?ÿ

@jim-frame I believe you are correct. He is wanting to come back later But with high gas prices I would be doing it all as I go. ?ÿI just bought diesel for my tractor today. And was contemplating the whole time how much it was costing me every hour it was running . Arghhhhhh. ?ÿ?ÿ
A rail road spike will work as a chisel as well. It is a art but I have made some nice crows feet on back of curb with one.?ÿ
Ya just can't beat a Dremel!?ÿ Long battery life, charges quickly when it dies. Has multiple tools for multiple applications.?ÿ Reasonably priced.

While a Dremel is certainly useful -- I use a corded model in my shop -- it's not the kind of thing you want to carry in your vest every day.?ÿ A Dremel is more appropriate as the tool the OP might use when he comes back through to permanently mark the temporary points he's set.
@jim-frame For me: you are correct, I did miss the point. Still, 100 temporary scratches is enough to make my hand hurt, just thinking about it.
I'd go with a paint pen, or my favorite marking pen. Should last long enough.
I normally use sharpie for the temporary and then get the angle grinder. If it will be a little while in between, I'll put a shot of orange marking paint, then sharpie 'x' in that. So it stands out better.
Slide the hatchet on the side of the bob, neatly cutting a line.

You mean you don't sharpen your hatchet every day, whether it needs it or not.?ÿ

My plumb bob tip and the side of a hub put many a scribe around town. If the concrete was green you could lean into it and make a real sharp tip in a couple days but tips were cheap. Not sure what they?ÿ cost now. Glad I haven't had to worry about those things in awhile??¯
Keep up the good work building the world yall???
@jed: A plumb bob is an instrument, not a tool.
A concrete nail or mag nail and the side of a 6' ruler works for me.?ÿ Usually have both with me anyway.
Those tile scorers look good.
My tactic was always to spray a paint dot, wait a couple minutes for it to dry, and then scribe through that. Usually just a crowfoot or V mark rather than a cross, as being quicker to make. Marks like that can easily be found after 6 months or so. Don't know how efficient it would be if you were doing 100 of them.
