How would you do the same vibe technique of the door frame wasn't plumb? So, both the wall is out of plumb and the door frame that the trim will attach to I'd not plumb either. Thank you.
I have an easier way to scribe arcitrave to a wall. Mark the reveal you want on your jamb which in this instance is 5mm. Tack the outer edge of the arcitrave to to that line using a pin nailer or brad nails, you can use a clamp at the header and tack the middle and bottom with a nailer. Then take an off cut which is the same width as the arcitrave and scribe your pencil line down the one that's tacked to the jamb, cut to the line and you're good to go leaving you with that 5mm reveal. Make sure you cut the mitre on top before cutting the scribe line so you'll have that 45° cut
Thanks Philip, I really appreciate that. I don't know what Is do without this technique. I used it a few times on this project ua-cam.com/video/R1dKybdYyY8/v-deo.html
Wow you've said me a few quid - I was going to buy one of those doodah's off ebay for a fiver. No need to buy one anymore since a piece of wood will get the job done. Top man!
Well done I am a retired linoleum layer I have been making patterns to cut sheet goods for 40+ years basically the way you scribed your molding using an18inch straight edge.
Accurate scribing certainly makes a big difference to the overall look of the job. Kitchen fitters have this off to a fine art and like yourself no fancy tool in sight. Thanks for sharing I learnt a lot from this and your most recent vid.
Best method is to find the point where the wall projects the most and sit the architrave against it. At that point, measure how far the architrave projects past the frame. Fix the architrave top and bottom at this measurement so it’s parallel with the frame. It’s best to fix using oval nails where possible. Screws require more filling and run the risk of splitting out (spelching)when withdrawn if you’ve put them below surface , as the timber can expand back over the edge of the head of the screw. Cut the scribe block to the size of the margin and the architrave projection combined. Before marking with a pen, put masking tape down the edge of the architrave where it touches the wall. Masking tape makes the scribe line more visible and helps reduce spelching out when cutting along the scribe. I prefer to cut with a fine cut panel saw. If you use a jog saw, use a blade that cuts on the downstroke to reduce spelching out on the face of the architrave. Once you begin cutting, you should back cut. This means cutting off 90 degree along the scribe so that the front (visible) part of the scribe touches the wall first. This also means you don’t need to rely on decorators caulk to hide your sins.
Can you skip the step of finding the most protruding part of the wall.and just set it to an arbitrary parallel distance from frame. Then continue from there?
This is exactly what I needed to see....we live in "the house that Jack built" and that my husband and I keep fixing. we have a really funky corner near a linen closet that is not only not plumb but it's not the same depth from top to bottom. I created my own template to scribe the wall by popping a hole in a wooden paint stirrer for the point of a pencil...I'm hoping this works for me...I really think it will...thanks for this video...
Thank you Charlie, I have a feeling that i'll need all your videos just to keep up on my home. My house was built in 1920 with many additions (poorly done i'd say). This is our first house, lucky us!
Hi Kray, thanks for taking the time to comment. I was in a pretty similar situation with my first house - and it's taught me most of what I know, so sit back and enjoy the ride. My current house is just the same! It's the best and only way to learn! In the meantime, drop me a comment if you're got any DIY conundrums! Good luck!
Thanks for that Charlie. Im a plasterer by trade but often have to do small amounts of joinery. This is a very useful technique to help me through my working day.
Nice video on explaining how to scribe architrave. Still alittle “gappy” but close enough for a DIYer. One thing us professional carpenters do is back cut (bevel the saw slightly) when cutting the line to ensure a nice tight fit against the wall. Much more accurate with a nice sharp hand saw. Also always cut your mitre before you start cutting the scribe as it’s a pain to cut afterwards. Nice job! :)
Another way is to cut an angle, but cut a little away from the line, so you can easily sand the remaining bit down to the line. The angled cut means you only have to sand a thin edge down, means a lot less sanding, but you can still get the fine accuracy that sanding affords.
Hi there, what do you find is the best method for cutting your scribe on a 2x2 upright when you’re cutting with the grain? I found it particularly awkward with a wavy wall. Thanks.
@@meldrew728 I always scribe thin pieces with a table saw, I just cut at 5 or 7° to create a bevel and get it as close to the line as possible, sounds hard but should get the hang of it on the 3rd piece if not leave a little more than the line and sand the rest. That's what the bevel is for so you can remove material fasters and it also leaves less gap between material
Very helpful, framed something out and need to scribe some side panels - nice to see you do proper DIY tricks like the block and just using basic tools like a jigsaw
Your a good tutor. I've learned so much from you. The silicone scrapers ect my silicone skills have improved tremendous.. Love the scribeing . But you want to know the best part. To look at you i would of never had you down as a tradesman
Brilliant Video I'm just about to do exactly what you showed A Door Achrcitrave! It's even on the same side of the door! How lucky was that! Many thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Thank you! That part about how to determine how much to cut off was brilliant! Just what I was looking for. Thanks again for sharing the info. Btw, you’ve got mad skills with a hand saw.
If door frame isn’t plumb, mark 8mm on the frame or whatever inset you do and fix the back edge of the arc to it, then get a block the same width of the architrave and run a pencil mark down it following the contours of the wall and jigsaw to the pencil line👍🏼
Hi there. Just to let you know, I've redone the paint brush cleaning video incorporating your great tip on recycling the white spirit, and will be posting it in a few minutes. Thought I'd let you know as your ears might start burning soon :)
That's correct. I should have pointed that out. So if it's not vertical, you just need to make sure you have the architrave parallel with the front edge of the door casing when you scribe.
Damn- why didn't I watch this video before fitting my new door!! I just spent over an hour measuring, marking, cutting and trimming to get to the same result!
Hi Charlie , what did you find is the best method for cutting your scribe on the upright for the insane bookcase? I found it particularly awkward for a wavy wall with a 2x2 upright, cutting with the grain. Thanks.
You basically have to start with a piece of wood that's wider than it needs to be, somehow fix it in position with the inner piece parallel with the unit that you're fitting it to, and then do your scribing. I find my belt sander very important to fine tune sections the jigsaw hasn't quite cut accurately. Once you have a scribe that accurately follows the contours of the wall, you can turn your attention to the straight section and trim that back so that it sits flush with the inside of the bookcase, door frame etc. A set of swanky scribes are useful to have. I used them on the wardrobe build a few times. Saves having to cut a scribe block.
@@CharlieDIYte Thanks, I understand the process. The problem came with following a wavy line on 2x2 cutting with the grain. A handsaw wasn’t flexible enough and a jigsaw blade not firm enough. The first result was to just have the high and low points right but nothing in between. I’m now considering cutting it roughly and buying a flap disc for a grinder to fine tune it.
Hi there Charlie, hope all is well. something slightly different on what you are showing here. Have you ever drilled in to a a ground floor made of concrete( a home) to say fix a plinth ? I may need to do it its just that one has to be careful not to hit the DPM. thanks in advance, ps I am talking about using tapcon screws (blue concrete screws u may know of) and around 30mm deep.
Cool tip, I'm assuming it only works accurately if the door jamb is perfectly plum as the arc was? Most older frames are usually bellied/bowed on at least one side. I'll definitely be playing with this one though
What you could do Danny is fix it in roughly the right position, scribe it to the wall, then when you've completed the scribe, push it into the wall and then scribe to the door frame. A bit of a pain but sometimes needs must!
Could you explain how to calculate feather edge boards needed over a certain span, do i divide the width of the board less the overlap into the length i want to cover, thought I'd ask as you explain well and i used this scribing method after watching this video and it worked great, i kmew how to scribe as to tracing the uneven surface to another but couldn't fathom how to get it in the right place without cutting the other edge to suit, Thanks
Hi John, thanks for the feedback! Yes, that is exactly how I'd do it. You should allow a minimum of 25mm to 30mm overlap. So for example if you have 150mm wide boards then each board will give a coverage of 125mm - or 8 boards per metre. There are various calculators available - such as this one goo.gl/7iot7n that even tells you how many counter rails, notch posts etc etc you need (assuming of course you're making a fence!). That reminds me, I have a section of fence in the garden to replace...!
Yes absolutely Cynthia, but it's going to be a little tricky to remove and might look a bit odd of you end up with a very thin base board in certain areas. Can you not mechanically fix (screw) the base board to the wall, which will pull it in around the uneven lumps in the wall?
Great video, but I agree with mgibson26. I done this yesterday exactly as described and it didn't come out very well, thats because the door lining was not 100% level and leveling the architrave so it is plumb means the scribe was completely off.
Ah, sorry about that Kevin. Looking back, that was a glaring error in the video. As you rightly say, the crucial thing is to have the front edge of the architrave running parallel with the door lining. I made the assumption that everyone's door linings will be plumb, which is ridiculous as pretty much nothing in my house is plumb! You must have been cursing me by the end of it!
will this work with american , imperial measurements,or do i haveto use metric? lol, i actually find mysel using metric all the time because i do auto body, and almost everything is metric
The extra 5mm was the distance that the architrave needed to be set back from the door frame edge. So 17mm plus 5mm gets you to 22mm. Does that make sense?

Hello! Can this be done with a baseboard? My walls are so uneven, the baseboard curves in the middle.
Yes absolutely Cynthia, but it's going to be a little tricky to remove and might look a bit odd of you end up with a very thin base board in certain areas. Can you not mechanically fix (screw) the base board to the wall, which will pull it in around the uneven lumps in the wall?
I can try that Charlie! Thanks for answering so quickly!
Does this mean that the maximum width of the piece of wood is 22mm or you are taking off extra or the other way round? Don't really get it.
Great video, but I agree with mgibson26. I done this yesterday exactly as described and it didn't come out very well, thats because the door lining was not 100% level and leveling the architrave so it is plumb means the scribe was completely off.

Dude, your house is about to tip over... run!!!
Chris S Ha! It's been about to tip over for 100 years so I'm pretty sure I'll be safe - but thanks for the warning 😁
Please go over how your calculated the 22mm.... confusing.
Much better to use a compass for a tighter fit
There are some pretty good bespoke scribing tools out there. 👍
I understand 17mm but i dont get how you get the next 5 to make 22mm
The extra 5mm was the distance that the architrave needed to be set back from the door frame edge. So 17mm plus 5mm gets you to 22mm. Does that make sense?
This is exactly what filler was invented for. Quicker and easier
Yep, I agree 👍
thought it was Gordon lmao
You're not the first to say that 🤣
Architrave!? It's called door casing in the modern world. Merica!
Lol. Threw me off at first as well, here in colonial Canada. Quite the $2 word, architrave.
