Great technique! You can number each point as you move around the shape with the tick stick and transfer those numbers to your points, so you never connect the wrong dots.
Brilliant! I've been struggling trying to fit up a trapezoidal shaped hole in my ceiling. Your video (had to view it twice) worked perfectly. Well done and thanks!
Awesome! I have two somewhat triangular shaped sections to drywall today. I like how he used a stake for the tick stick since I won't need to make anything. I watched you first, then watched See Jane Drill and got it but in hindsight you were very clear. Thank you.
Best tool I found for working on drywall is a 3.5" x 7" smartphone and it allows me to call someone who's good at working on drywall. Really cuts down on the amount of sanding I'll have to do as well.
Could do large area (like a floor) with tape measure and straight edge rather than stick. Just need a vector (direction and magnitude (distance)) and a raw piece larger than the you're cutting.
If you have trouble keeping track of the corners, just number them on the wall, then on the intermediate board, then on you final board. Connect the numbers.
I wonder if Italians used this method for the incredible stone inlay work in all of the Catholic churches, @ the Vatican, Duomo, etc. Their work was amazing, and hundreds of years ago.
Ok Myron. I am drywalling the inside of a garden room and I have no experience at all. I'm going to use this technique. I'll see you on the other side!
@@prnothall9302 oh the grammar police are in! Thats ok you learned something about scribing and the stick method, which you never knew, (or is that didnt know) before. I could of course written it as a verb contraction, could 've. Now here's some colloguial grammar, fuck off!
jatpack3...he said “I’ve got this pretty cool technique, I call the tick stick method” not...I’ve heard or seen or been told about, it also has a name ticking stick or Carpentry hack from many years ago.
ray ; truth!!thanks for being blunt! Ship builders been using and calling it a ticking stick for centuries! This man here sure speaks like he’s not a humble, modest person. Sounds Definitely like an arrogant plagiarizing son of a bitch! You know what I mean? “That drywall guy”
Very true about drywall although this will work for odd shaped pieces that you can just square cut. Many homes have odd angles in them. Not all of them are square. Works in very tight odd angled corners for setting tile. The first person I saw that showed this method said it also allowed for curving openings like those found on wooden ship hulls.

thanks. 4th version i've watched. Yours was best. Straightforward and simple
Very cool presentation. Loved it.
That's awesome. It can be used for flooring, tile, drywall, etc. Thanks a ton pal.
Myron R Ferguson should never pay for his own coffee! Brilliant.
Thanks for the lesson...
Epic final words to a video!
Thank you for teaching!
The Ticking Stick was made popular by Shipwrights to build boats!
I LOVE this.
Look for it on PTC later today.
Great video that was awesome
I'm lazy, I just lay a patch bigger than the strange opening, trace around it, cut it and pop the old section out... 😂
I usually attempt to go to the studs and square it up.
Easier to mud.
great video

Thank you sir.. you r a great teacher..
I think you just might of made it possible for me to understand those unsquar angle cuts easier. Thank you for your video.
Old boat building technique
Could do large area (like a floor) with tape measure and straight edge rather than stick. Just need a vector (direction and magnitude (distance)) and a raw piece larger than the you're cutting.
Fantastic
nice tip thnx
"Medium coffee. Cream with no sugar!"

Thank you sir
odd shaped drywall what you doing using old bits up
This method originated with boat builders long ago.
I'll never have to pay for coffee again. Thanks
Love it thanks I’m gonna try it with round stairway I’m doing I’ll let you know if it worked for me
Keep us informed 😁
Did it?
Well did it?
Poor bastards is still in traction after falling down that stairway.
Legend told me poor bastard is still trying to figure out how to make it work on his round stairway.
I used this method to put underlayment in my bathroom last week.
How did it turn out ???
All you did was put underlayment down? Weird to not have a floor if yes.
I wonder if Italians used this method for the incredible stone inlay work in all of the Catholic churches, @ the Vatican, Duomo, etc. Their work was amazing, and hundreds of years ago.
Cool.
kewl
This is why I hire drywallers...
Ok Myron. I am drywalling the inside of a garden room and I have no experience at all. I'm going to use this technique. I'll see you on the other side!
By the time you did this I would have cut a square, put some backing in to screw my new drywall to and had 10 odd shaped holes filled lol.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just another method of scribing. But to avoid your confusion joining the dots, you could of numbered them
gbwildlife uk *could HAVE*
@@prnothall9302 oh the grammar police are in!
Thats ok you learned something about scribing and the stick method, which you never knew, (or is that didnt know) before.
I could of course written it as a verb contraction, could 've.
Now here's some colloguial grammar, fuck off!
Could’ve
Cute've
Maybe I didn’t take enough ADDERRALL
What you call? Hahaha
Sugar m no cream.
Meanwhile , two days later . . .
It’s old...boat builders used this method many many years ago. It’s been on you tube years before you thought you invented it.
Did he lay claim to the invention of this?
jatpack3...he said “I’ve got this pretty cool technique, I call the tick stick method” not...I’ve heard or seen or been told about, it also has a name ticking stick or Carpentry hack from many years ago.
Classic douchebag is more like it.
Pretty Slick... I would have bought you a cup of coffee for sure.. After you did that, and every day after.. Ha..Ha.. It's on the house.. Ha..Ha.
Cream with no sugar?..Are you a madman?...
...remarks Deadpool.
Excellent. As for the 25 dislikes. Can you do any better? I think not. 🤔
Are you high?
It’s what he calls a tick stick, because he invented it.
Hmmm I thought you said Thai Stick. Wrong channel! No ha ha jk
I did it too. This is what I used Woodglut designs for
The tick stick has been around for years, why are you saying " I call it the tick stick method" I doubt very much that you invented it..
Years? I think you meant centuries...
My thoughts exactly....as if hes the genius that came up with this idea
no sugar ewwwwwwwww
You say it as if you invented this method and name it’s probably older than you .. sorry for being blunt
ray ; truth!!thanks for being blunt! Ship builders been using and calling it a ticking stick for centuries! This man here sure speaks like he’s not a humble, modest person. Sounds Definitely like an arrogant plagiarizing son of a bitch! You know what I mean? “That drywall guy”
The Tick stick method isn’t your method, nor did you give it its name. Boat maker tool that’s been around for centuries.
So let's waste a $7 sheet of drywall for a $1 cup of coffee.
No proffesional drywall man would waste all this time,,, he would square it off, cut it out and be done with it ,,,,
Very true about drywall although this will work for odd shaped pieces that you can just square cut.
Many homes have odd angles in them. Not all of them are square.
Works in very tight odd angled corners for setting tile.
The first person I saw that showed this method said it also allowed for curving openings like those found on wooden ship hulls.
Yeah, ticking stick works great..., but not for drywall. I usually just cut my piece oversized, scribe it on the wall, then cut a new opening.
odd shape, 6 hours later , son of a gun ,it fits!
