Not offended at all Jay. I actually chuckled a little as I sent that one off. It could just be me and the way I read post.

I am moving to almost full scribe in my shop and as such I find pricking the joinery a simple step to make, it all comes together without any worries. What I am finding after years of square rule is scribing is not more time consuming if weighing the tidy results it yields, it has many benefits.

I may try snap line square rule some time.

Unpegged bracing is far and few between in my neck of the woods, I can recall only one barn and that was in western Maine near the border of New Hampshire. Most barns here are full 2" tenon 3 to 4 inches deep with a softwood 1" peg. I use 3/4" hardwood in most joints unless they are doing some major work.
