Name someone more precise than Tony, I dare you...

What happens here

The carpenter then uses a smaller marking tool, possibly a combination square or a specialized scribe, to draw a second line parallel to the initial cut line. This could serve multiple purposes, such as delineating the waste side more clearly, marking for specific joinery, or indicating a future component's position. This step further refines the layout for precision.

Goal: After the main cut line, an additional parallel line may be scribed on the waste side of the cut or for specific layout purposes using a different marking tool.
