FB (Fat Boy) and SB (Skinny Boy) Scribers
Please note the FB and SB Scribers are suitable for pencils only
Overview of the FB and SB Scribers
The FB and SB Scribers are the standard scribers in the range.
The FB Scriber is 64mm x 25.4mm, the SB Scriber is 64mm x 19mm.
They are great all round scribers for site fitting and workshop use when you only need to use a pencil.
As with all the scribers they are set up with the thumbscrew on the right hand side for right handers but you can take the pivoting bolt out and turn it 180 degrees for left handers.
Again as with all the scribers the tightening thumbscrew is spaced away from the body of the scriber to make it easier to grip. When tightened the scriber won’t move in use.

This clip is from his “Learn to Build a Stick Chair” video course available on the Lost Art Press website.
The FB Scriber has its own chapter dedicated to it in the “The Stick Chair Journal” written by Christopher Schwarz.
All the scribers in the tooley park scriber range (apart from the 2 in 1 FB Scriber) come with the cradle pre drilled for the various accessories available.
You can also use the holes to fit your own base attachment giving you more options with the scribers.
Here an 18mm mdf block has been added to give the scriber more height. You might want to use a curved base for a particular job.
