👍 Scribing is a major part of fitting anything so I've been doing it for pretty much as long as I've been a joiner, I've had many scribing tools but the compasses with the adjustment wheel in the middle are hard to beat, one handed adjustment & they don't move if dropped, the threaded bar can get in the way sometimes though 😉 Thanks Matt 👍
Excellent, just how I fit mine. Same with pointing the forefinger down the drill and saw, proper chippy. And not a CNC machine in sight! Lovely work Gid
Thanks Andy 👍 yep & you know but i didn't mention in the vid, it helps to get direct pressure on the drill esp when drilling walls, I still sort of remember being taught this 👴🤣
Gid Joiner like riding a bike, you never forget. Me and you are about the same age, we must have been taught the same way. The 80’s was a good time to learn the trade we do
@@andyjames8612 51 on the 15th 😮👴 yep in the 80s there were still the old joiners around who learn't the old ways before leky drivers, I started with a yankee with a jubilee clip on it to stop it falling of the ladder,
Thanks, different ways tpo build it, i give that option of a cabinet to my clients, or to use the alcove & put a face frame n doors on, their choice, Many pantries in kitchen alcoves were built like this,
No prob, to be honest 'easy' isn't the top of my list, the clients wishes, aesthetics, structural engineering, what's poss, what materials & simply how it's going to be built come first, easy is after all those & other thoughts so can't really say, i don't really think about easy, for a job like this both have their pros n cons, a cabinet is easy to fit shelves inside but that cabinet needs making, fitting & still requires a face frame/doors etc, using the alcove like in this vid is a little quicker, cheaper on materials for the client but can be hard to fit shelves & make the inside pretty, all options are given & 'I don't care about the inside, it's just going to get filled with junk' most people say 👍
Another good one Gid. Here in New Zealand you can get bayonet jig saw blades with the teeth pointing down. They're great for cutting to a line as the chip out is underneath not on the top. Great for cutting any melamine or laminate as you get no chips. Check it out as I'm sure they must be available in the UK. The teeth are also finer than that savage looking blade you were using but you can't use the orbital feature on the saw as they cut down not up. Here they come on a card of five. Just a thought..😀😀
Thanks Daryl, yep I'm well aware of the down cutting blades, they've been around a long time, i cut from the back quite often out of choice, clear view to the line, clean cut & no face damage, & same goes for the chunky blade, i use that out of choice, that blade stays straight, & many of these cuts were along the grain so classed as rip cuts, I have some down cutting blades but don't buy them because i don't like them, if you don't hold on they can kick causing the jigsaw to damage the face, like you say they're a finer cut so would gum up n burn quicker & they're flexible. & have many jigsaw blades & a fret saw if i wanted a spot on finish but i choose to do it this way. ua-cam.com/video/unVv06J-S0E/v-deo.html
@@Gidjoiner ..Cheers Gid and it's Darryl with two R's..Another trick I use when scribing is to use a belt sander. I've got a Elu which takes a 450×75mm belt and I sand on an angle so the top or edge of the panel is tight and the unseen edge is away from the wall or whatever on a taper. I'm a semi retired joiner who had a kitchen business in Wellington New Zealand for twenty five year's and developed over the year's a lot of tricks. Lived in London in the 70's and 80's and worked for a joinery business owned by Truman's Brewery in Brick Lane in the east end so I know what British house's and Buildings are like..I.E. a nightmare with wall fixings and bricks everywhere. I'm greatly enjoying your videos especially on the doorway and glass panels you fitted to that house. Here in NZ it's all timber construction and fixings are much easier. Still I probably don't need to mention the belt sander to you as going by the pictures I've seen of you you've been around the traps. Looking forward to the next episode of Gid and as I'm subbed on I'll not miss it. Enjoy the summer as having lived there I know how fleeting they can be.👍👍👍👍. Wish there were some woodworking emojis as I'd include a plane or drill.😀😀
Nice job again Gid, felt for you with not able to open windows. 😅 I notice when scribing left cupboard,the big one, you cut the beech as normal not your usual backward cut. Steve.
😰😬 Yeah hard work in there, dry mouth but soaking shirt, 😂 No reason for the non-backwards jigsaw cut, the frame with doors still in was a bit unwieldy & in that heat i just stuck it on the floor n cut it out, 'caulk'll sort it' but they turned out ok, Thanks Steve 👍
Another great series of vids, hints and tips galore, cracking looking job👍👍👍. Do you have any vids on coping skirting, tried a few times and look shite??
😊 Glad you like them, Thanks Leon 👍 This is the only vid i can think of that's got a bit of skirting scribing in ua-cam.com/video/P7-yYhet4rk/v-deo.html
I notice you use one hand on the drill and another holding a vac, try small food bag, taped with masking tape, underneath where you are drilling, catches all the dust from brickwork.
Hi Gid, where did you pick up your scribe compass?I have the trend scribe tool,it’s ok on flat areas but doesn’t profile a skirting as well where as your seems to stay in close. Cheers Gid
Hi, scribing has always been a part of my job & I've had many scribers, but this is just a Staedtler compass that i added a point to, I like the wheel adjustment because it can be one handed & doesn't change if knocked or dropped but the thread that sticks out on the wall side can get in the way, I bought some nice ones a while ago but the adjustment was awkward & they fell to bits, I'm still looking for a good scribing implement 🤷♂️😉
Nice as always Gid. Those curtains made me laugh. You Yorkies are something else! What's usually the nominal size you cut your tops to? As in how much extra do you give yourself for scribing? Hope the rest of the install goes well. Got a biggie this week to. Cheers
Haha, I just had to look at one of my photos for the curtains, I don't pay much attention to those sorts of things but yeah, 'not in my house' 😂 I assess the shape of the alcove to see how out of square it is, allow for that then add at least 10-15mm each end, it's easier to cut 10mm off & stay on the line than trying to cut along the edge of the board, 😉 it's finished n Pt6 final should have the link at the end of this pt5 one, Thanks Charlie. 👍
For the general screws yeah, i find them strong, they'll break your bit before the head strips, (normally 😁) I don't like the screws with the cutting feature on the point, i find in plugs & shorter screws it keeps cutting n destroying the plug or not giving a very good hold, imagine a 2" screw fixing together two 1" pieces together, the top 1" of screw with the head is in one piece of wood, the other inch is in the adjoining piece but ½ the gripping thread is that naff cutting feature on the end doing nothing so only ½" of the remaining thread is actually holding. they're for lazy bollocks who can't be arsed drilling a pilot hole, I used to have to go to a hardware store the other side of town but Screwfix started stocking them, they changed over to a modern Screwtite style www.screwfix.com/p/screw-tite-2-pz-double-countersunk-screw-5-x-70mm-100-pack/964fy I sometimes have to buy from whoever has the size i want in stock but i prefer the older style, Toolstation just next door sell the older style, www.toolstation.com/screw-tite-pozi-countersunk-screw/p48700
Gid Joiner i use the ones with the cutting thread but still pilot holes, got some screwtite today so look forward to trying them 👍🏻👍🏻 (upload part 3 of pergola)😂
The old classic teaching there. The correct way to hold all hand tools. Three, one & thumb, as my Dad always taught me. 👍👍👍
😉👍👍
Top class tip for the scribes using the compass. Thanks 👍🏼

Gid Joiner I’m two years older but also had the yankee with a jubilee clip on it. Great days
Great Job Gid Thanks
Good, glad you liked it Thanks 👍
Interesting built. I always thought we first build a cabinet, slide it in, and add trim around it to hide the gaps.
Thanks, different ways tpo build it, i give that option of a cabinet to my clients, or to use the alcove & put a face frame n doors on, their choice, Many pantries in kitchen alcoves were built like this,
@@Gidjoiner thanks for showing this approach. What are the benefits of each? Which is easier to install for you?

love it, “decorators caulk will get that” 👍🏻 ....i say that with 1/4” gaps 😂
😂👍👍 Yep sometimes "the decorator will have to sort it out " 😉
Knew about pointing your finger along the saw blade, never thought about doing it with a drill.
👍 Yep helps you hold the drill & you get more direct force along/straight down the drill, helps esp. with the hammer drill 😉

Gid Joiner just the normal screwtite not the screwtite 2, these were from toolstation
Is that mdf also is it
? sorry don't understand
Cut the skirting out
Cowboys trick that, these things are semi permanent, take them out n you'd find some tw*ts cut a slice out of the skirt.
