Slide the hatchet on the side of the bob, neatly cutting a line.

You left out the step of spending a long time sharpening the hatchet because you took off all of the edge.

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.
