Woodworkers, what is your way for scribing?

[BioNerd]

For example, an edge of casing to a wall or baseboard to floor...

I've seen people do it with grinders, jig saws, table saw without fence, rasps....

My way is block plane and 100grit sanding block, I precut that edge to 30 degrees and use a compass to get close, then erase the line and eyeball the minute adjustments.

If possible I screw in an angle to squeeze the piece tight using trim head screws.

I don't like walking around to make adjustments, I made myself a 1 1/2 x 3 feet shooting board/step stool that I carry around in the site.

I just added a jack plane to take less time removing material and leave the detail for the block plane.

I don't know if this is the kind of feedback you're looking for, but as far as for making the line/mark in the first place, I use this tool.

When the gap is tighter than what this tool allows for, I use a drafting pencil with a smaller router bearing.

There is also this tool for certain situations.

Precutting the edge to 30 degrees is a good idea: Idea Stored in Brain.

Block plane and rasps. I used to use a belt sander, but realized the block plane is easier.

I use a Lie-Nielsen apron plane mostly.

chainsaw & latex caulk!

kidding. I too back cut the edge to reduce the material needing removal and use a block plane

Rasps and planes.

I really think more often than not, a piece of quarter round...
