I don't generally use scoring tools, I never can get the tool to follow the line. I simply fold along the edge of the coffee table in front of me. The coffee table is formica with a sharp Straight edge. (After 8 years of use, the edge is as sharp as the day the Formica was shot.) For long, large folds, I simply remove the laptop from the coffee table. For really small or exteremely curved parts I use my thumbnail to start the score and help the fold along with a pair of twissors. A rubber band at the top of the twissors also converts it into a remarkably precise, easy to use tool for holding together small parts as the glue dries.
For projects away from home I take along a short length of Unfinished 2 by 4 to clamp to any convenient table. The unfinished wood has a sharp, square edge and can be re"sharpened" and squared with a trim pass through a table saw. Or just grab another unfinished 2 by 4.
