Holy cow Scott Brown, I too worked with a deaf Dean in Auckland!!! Late 90s/early 00s, also doing commercial work - he would've been maybe mid-late 30s at the time. He was partnered up with another deaf chippie and to get each other's attention they'd throw stuff at each other. Good times.
As a DIYer, you actually make being a carpenter appealing! I've always thought "I'd love to be a carpenter, but one that only builds nice furniture and nice things" haha. Really useful tips and you're a likeable guy. Keep it up please!
You and Richard need to organise a working holiday in each other’s homeland. It would be awesome content to see you bounce ideas off each other and understand how different your craft is depending on what part of the world you’re from. I watch both religiously.
Seriously. You two are brilliant together. Love that it feels we get a small glimpse of your daily life sarcasm between you two and can tell how you both are enthralled with each other. Keep it up and your building a brilliant home together that you can feel proud of. Cheers from Iowa in the US!
Man I'm to the point there should just be a shadow detail at the bottom of old house trim. Go the other way and cut 3/4 off the bottom. I hate 1/4 round.
Hi Scott, Enjoy all your "hot tips" and humor! Another "hot tip" do not get on your knees. After over 30 yrs. in the trades trimming hundreds of homes my knees are still good to go! Alan in Wisconsin, USA.
The problem with ripping down your skirting/baseboard is you are now committed to ripping all mating pieces to match it. Better to modify only the middle part and leaving the ends full depth. You can put a piece of board on the top edgeof the skirt running at 90 degrees and kneel on it. This forces the board down to the floor and you can nail it off. Different approaches, same result. Cheers.
Like he said, that's just how he does it, he's a perfectionist and if it means he has to do it the long way or take extra steps to reach his expectations, he'd rather it be like that.. rather than take short cuts
Here in the UK, newly built houses have now a tendency to install naff square edge skirtings. When they do, the joiners/carpenters these days seem to struggle in getting a good mitre or internal scribed joints and many times just filled with white mastic. I don't think they would have a clue about scribing the skirtings to an uneven floor. As a time-served joiner, I simply gave up asking for the builder to replace skirtings and kitchen plinths again to get better joints because I have come to the conclusion that it is simply beyond their capability. Scott one observation - when doing an internal angle and one skirting is fixed slightly out of plumb to the wall if you cut the piece to butt up to it on the circular saw, surely you aren't actually scribing the piece to the other and run the risk of the joint being open ?
Really great to see more detail on how to actually do things tutorial style rather than just a timelapse of doing something where important steps are not taught. Thanks!
Good evening from Sunny Scotland. When doing the internal mitre once you've scribed it as you did sit it on top of the other skirting draw your Stanley knife down the mitre, then flick out about 3mm of timber with your Stanley on its side and your scribed joint will sit down absolutely perfectly and no worries of it breaking off. Keep up the good work! Oh and thanks for van kit out video my van is now similar to yours and works a treat.
Well done. I'm nearly done with my very first house built. :-D Used a LOT of tricks and tips from your videos, and many work organization tips as well. Helped A LOT. Thanks, Scott!
pretty awesome vid this weekend bro great team working scott Brown Carpentry an jess idk seeing yo the another day ago back mate at my local mitre 10 store in nelson as i was there looking for some new traides or traide tools an work bag for my tradies or tradie tools and was going too coming up too yo a saying hi too yo Scott Brown CarPentry
You mean cutting a bevel on the backside. I do this as well but more with windows so there's less material to remove when you scribe. I use a hand plane/ block plane when fitting so I don't have to go outside or make to much noise inside finishing
Hey Jess, I also work with all my tools lying around me instead of hanging on my body. It just feels uncomfortable. Same when I do cycling (racing bike). Lots of cyclists put everything they take wirh them (tools and food/drink) on their back in their jersey. I put everything on my bicycle. I like to feel free. Nothing hanging on my body. I don't even carry a watch around my wrist 🤠 Succes.
Scott we used to call the angled nails dovetailing so they resist the timber shape changed from pulling the boards off the wall. Another great instructional video; Jess will soon be able to work along side you...watch out Ray!
Love the content, I’m a joiner from Scotland and what I do with the joining boards together plus a scribe on the bottom is , join them together first then do the scribe with the second piece attached with mitre fast … I’ve watched every video you’ve made and love it!!! Keep it up
I like to use a tracer or other similar pencil for scribing skirtings as there's multiple angles you can sit it on the floor that allow you to take off different amounts with your scribe, it also means that you're scribes are more detailed as the pen can drop into any little undulations better than a bigger piece of wood I also like to use a jigsaw with a finetooth downcut blade as it's easier to follow sharp movements in the line, the downcut blade just pushes any tearout to the backside of the skirting where it can't be seen and leaves a nice clean line on the floor.
Great video. One point - I was always taught that the join in the length of skirting or scotia should be cut as a compound mitre so that it gave more contact surface and disguised any lateral movement of the timber.
I'm not sure what it is about the way you make your videos Scott but it always feels so short like a conversation with a friend you haven't seen in a long while and suddenly it's 3 hrs later.
Remember when planing to a fine finish, shallow passes with a planer is better than deeper cut, you can always take more off, with shallow passes. For bumps in the floor the planer might not always be the choice if it’s short and steep. Trimmer and clamp a guide works better Also always always cut your long lengths first so if you make a mistake you can use it somewhere else
Good old Glasgow kiss 🤣🤣 made me laugh as I’m watching from Glasgow love your videos Scott 👏🏼 currently doing a full renovation in my own house which is great full as you well know 😂
I always locate the studs in the wall, and pin to those... it wasn't till recently, when I was working with another carpenter, that I saw the angled pinning technique. Not sure I prefer it to holding strength of framing, but I can see it being a bit faster.
We usually scribe with a compass and pen, set the compass to the largest gap and roll with it. Usually with base do all your cuts first tape your mitres together and dry fit everything perfect and then run your scribes against the whole space. Also depending on how comfortable you are with table saws we usually freehand on a 15-20 d bevel less material hitting the floor usually tighter scribes
im a kiwi living in america for the past decade. when my mum came to visit last i requested only 3 things, squiggles, marmite and cheds. they definitely didnt last long as id wish. Love the show bro
20c coin centre drilled to accept clutch pencil, fast accurate wheel on line. Blue tape board face and fix through tape line, then fill pin holes flush atop tape and peel off tape with filler still wet for a perfect finish.
With the skirting scribes with moulds like that or square Cut a 45 degree notch the thickness of the skirting down from the top (so around 18mm) then the opposite on the joining piece leaving you with a mitre of 18mm deep to the square cut scribe. Absolute faf but saves on doing it how you showed with the slither scribe and it breaking off 50% of the time which it usually does 🤪😅 *i only do it on posh jobs
Bwwaaahahaa, spent yesterday do skirting for a customer, really did like your method of determining the heights to the scribe line at that corner peice.
Would love to see how you work with/create the plans to build this stuff. If you do. I’ve seen a few videos with you looking at plans but I feel like that would be really cool to see
Scott's tone explaining how to do finish carpentry gave me flashbacks to my dad reaching me how to change the oil in a car when I was 15. Me at 15: "Dad, you're pretty good at this. You should do it and I'll hand you wrenches." The progress looks great. Keep up the good work yall
Nice tool belt. I did something similar for my wife many years ago when I got her a custom-made trapeze harness for sailing. Much better than off-the-rack.
Hey Scott, i'm not fluent in english, i understand mostly what you say but, would you put subtitles when your wife speak ?! Her accent is a bit "strong" if i can say it like that. Thank you anyway for the content and sharing your experience !
World fame. At 3.53-ish. "A Glasgow Kiss". Perfect. Yeah, we're on the map. At 15.19-ish, I remember sitting with a piece of skirting board and a sharp knife trying to shape a joint for a round top skirting board. Patience !!! Please show me/us how to do it properly. Msg to Jess. He's showing YOU how to do "carpentry" stuff. How's his other "householdy" skills. Just for the sake of "balance" as one has to do now. Love the videos and wish I could do it myself. I have to just watch others do it for me. HOWEVER, it gives me the skills to critique a tradesman's work now. 😀. When do you start "gainful" work. 🤤
I'm on my way over there then. I LOVE my "baby" Bosch set. All trim guys have a planer. It makes you want one , but unless you're a pro or just have the money, they aren't necessary
Thank you Scotty & Jess. I believe there is years of training to gain the skills of a component cabinet maker. As they say "You build for show, but cabinet make for dough." Cheers
Nicely done, Mr. Brown. So many people (they call themselves carpenters, but they're really not) use shoe molding or quarter round along the floor to make up for the gaps.
Jess summs up the tool belt issue so well😂 in europe i'm use to having a belt with a hammer and like ONE nail pocket.. tgat foldable 2m stick and a pencil on the right side of your Trousersand good as gold
Scott, you should have Gaston get you a Thingamejig scribe. It is the best scribing tool made! I've been using one for a few years now. Scribing baseboard, wall paneling, or countertops has never been easier.
Probably mentioned already but to cover the gap in the skirting, add a quarter round at the bottom. No scribing needed. Did you use a 45 for the scarf joint? Perhaps a 60/30 would be less noticable. AS you have a kapex, why didn't you use the angle finder? Gerat video as always. Just thought I'd ask.
I spent weeks teaching myself how to do this in Rimu round nose skirting and door surrounds, for one large room on some very messed up walls and floors. Got a nice result in the end, with no gaps as you can't have gaps with Rimu that paint up well; this video certainly would have helped save me the month/s it took me to learn how to do it. Got the Rimu from a school friend on the Coast, so if ever you need some just let me know...:):) I started on some pine sample pieces I had the machinist make for me to learn how to do it on, once I transferred to the Rimu I got a shock, so hard you could not hand hammer a nail into it without having to predrill the nail holes! In years to come you guys will look back on all this and show your kids how you built your first home. :):) And a special hats of to Jess for giving it a go, never easy having to learn a new set of skills on camera..! :):)
I am just wondering Scott about the scribe of the skirting board. If you have to trim the bottom of the skirt to allow it to follow the floor thereby lowering the height of the board, doesn't that then throw out the height of the joining skirt along the next wall?
Yes. That’s why I find it easier to fit every piece, don’t nail anything or put 1 nail into every piece just to hold it temporarily, then scribe the whole room at one time. Finishes it the same height
In your shop you have the best miter-saw on the market. On the back of that saw sits a little angle thingy ( don’t know what it’s called), but here in the Netherlands we would use that for both the inside and outside corners. And if your boards are shorter than 120mm there are no issues. Even if the boards are higher you could still use it and make a compound cut. But still nice to see a coping cut. 😃 I am jealous of how you can attach the boards to the wall using only nails. Here in the Netherlands most house are stone / concrete walls so we have to glue them on the wall or drill holes with plugs. Edit: So I looked it up and the tool is called an angle finder. It’s made by Festool and bora also has one. In the older model saw it is stored in the front of the saw. Newer models in the back.
Hi Scott, Hi Jess Thank you for another great Video! Now I have a question... Why do you use so many 18 gage brad nails? I learned to be a finish carpenter and furniture maker in Germany and now have my own Business in Canada since 2011... We don't staple baseboard in Germany because we have concrete walls, so it gets glued up with construction glue... Now in Canada I discovered that if you caulk your trim yourself, which I do, four 23gage pin nails can be enough to keep your 2.4m or 8ft strip of trim perfectly in position... As my teacher used to say there is no need for 20 pins or nails the glue once its cured will hold it in place... I have had many talks about this with co- workers but at the end of the day they agreed I was right... We also love to install trim that was sprayed with high gloss paint in a spray booth and the last thing you want is a lot of nails since you will not be able to fix it after.... since the paint job was done before the installation... This is the way its mainly done in Europe. The Baseboard paint job gets fully finished before installation.. My advise try out the Makita 23 gage bin nailer. Your painter will love you and the results afterwards are absolutely amazing especially if your painter is not the best in his prep work! Your Videos are awesome! Have been looking forward to your newest episodes every Friday afternoon since episode 150.
Hi, I’m a qualified cabinet maker in Australia. Was considering doing an apprenticeship in carpentry to upskill and expand knowledge and employability.. I’m 26.. is it worth it? Would really appreciate anyone’s 2 cents 😂👍 Also love your work Scott!!
Liked the ripped scrap piece idea, to prevent blowout, but why did you use so much? Only need to go about 1/4 inch beyond the length mark, to save you more time/useage of the scrap.
Holy cow Scott Brown, I too worked with a deaf Dean in Auckland!!! Late 90s/early 00s, also doing commercial work - he would've been maybe mid-late 30s at the time. He was partnered up with another deaf chippie and to get each other's attention they'd throw stuff at each other. Good times.

Really useful tips and you're a likeable guy. Keep it up please!
This has become my absolute favourite channel, even though I've nothing to do with woodwork. You guys are just so chill and entertaining to watch. :)
You and Richard need to organise a working holiday in each other’s homeland.
It would be awesome content to see you bounce ideas off each other and understand how different your craft is depending on what part of the world you’re from.
I watch both religiously.
It would be interesting but Rich I a production trim guy so I think he needs to spend his time upping his game with Brett for a while.
Seriously. You two are brilliant together. Love that it feels we get a small glimpse of your daily life sarcasm between you two and can tell how you both are enthralled with each other. Keep it up and your building a brilliant home together that you can feel proud of. Cheers from Iowa in the US!
Ahh.. the true purpose of 1/4 round. Learned from working on historic restorations. 🎉🎉
Man I'm to the point there should just be a shadow detail at the bottom of old house trim. Go the other way and cut 3/4 off the bottom.
I hate 1/4 round.

35 years a carpenter and all I learned in this is Jess doesn't want to be one 🤣 You are lovely people and that's good enough. 👍✌❤

I was taught to always scribe to the floor, otherwise using your method the skirting will rise and fall as the floor does and will look like crap.
Fit everything dry then scribe every piece at one time
I love the Richard shout out! Worlds colliding

Your apprentice is coming along nicely. And so is the house and garden.
Well done.
I'm nearly done with my very first house built. :-D Used a LOT of tricks and tips from your videos, and many work organization tips as well. Helped A LOT. Thanks, Scott!
But were you obsessive about vacuuming as you made your cuts?
Oh, and can you hang a door?
Yes! Please please please do more tutorial videos! This was awesome, thank you so much.
Just love your videos .. Scott & Jess🎉😎🎉of SBC.
pretty awesome vid this weekend bro great team working scott Brown Carpentry an jess idk seeing yo the another day ago back mate at my local mitre 10 store in nelson as i was there looking for some new traides or traide tools an work bag for my tradies or tradie tools and was going too coming up too yo a saying hi too yo Scott Brown CarPentry
Love the garden Jess!! Can't wait to see it in the summer!
When scribing to a wooden floor i like to run the skirting through the table saw making the bottom angled and the tip much easier to plane.
You mean cutting a bevel on the backside. I do this as well but more with windows so there's less material to remove when you scribe. I use a hand plane/ block plane when fitting so I don't have to go outside or make to much noise inside finishing

When nailing the skirting you did it either way the old saying “a nail on the skew is as good as a screw”good job 👍🏻
Thanks to all of you being so inspiring.
Put the lead in.. from behind!!
What a great video! Cheers from the US
When you fixed that copping join to the skirt that was sooooo satisfying 😍👌🏼
Scott we used to call the angled nails dovetailing so they resist the timber shape changed from pulling the boards off the wall. Another great instructional video; Jess will soon be able to work along side you...watch out Ray!
Great work as always Scott! I'm about to get stuck into a big project and this video was super helpful.

Best way I've found to scribe that sort of cut on a skirting is with a washer.
Great video. One point - I was always taught that the join in the length of skirting or scotia should be cut as a compound mitre so that it gave more contact surface and disguised any lateral movement of the timber.
I'm not sure what it is about the way you make your videos Scott but it always feels so short like a conversation with a friend you haven't seen in a long while and suddenly it's 3 hrs later.
Deffo never worked on price work but its your own home so good work

Nice job you two!!! My favorite Jess comment was her coping with the belt, scribe, and super long baseboard.
You guys are awesome. (North Ayrshire, West of Scotland. Haste ye back!)
Oh man, wish i had watched this before i did my skirts! Great job!
Good old Glasgow kiss 🤣🤣 made me laugh as I’m watching from Glasgow love your videos Scott 👏🏼 currently doing a full renovation in my own house which is great full as you well know 😂
Good timing. I am having to do some skirting this weekend. thanks for the info Scott.
I always locate the studs in the wall, and pin to those... it wasn't till recently, when I was working with another carpenter, that I saw the angled pinning technique. Not sure I prefer it to holding strength of framing, but I can see it being a bit faster.
An absolute craftsman🤙
Very professional SBC.. well done Teacher Scott & Jess!! All coming together.😎
Your workshop has come along nicely...well done.

the corner cut there is really neat but something you rarely have time to do when on a job.
im a kiwi living in america for the past decade. when my mum came to visit last i requested only 3 things, squiggles, marmite and cheds. they definitely didnt last long as id wish. Love the show bro
She (full respect) is great! I have no questions!
Baseboards. Love your name for it.
20c coin centre drilled to accept clutch pencil, fast accurate wheel on line. Blue tape board face and fix through tape line, then fill pin holes flush atop tape and peel off tape with filler still wet for a perfect finish.
With the skirting scribes with moulds like that or square
Cut a 45 degree notch the thickness of the skirting down from the top (so around 18mm) then the opposite on the joining piece leaving you with a mitre of 18mm deep to the square cut scribe. Absolute faf but saves on doing it how you showed with the slither scribe and it breaking off 50% of the time which it usually does 🤪😅

Bwwaaahahaa, spent yesterday do skirting for a customer, really did like your method of determining the heights to the scribe line at that corner peice.
more videos with jess in please.. her humour and personality makes your videos more fun to watch .. keep up the good work scott
Would love to see how you work with/create the plans to build this stuff. If you do. I’ve seen a few videos with you looking at plans but I feel like that would be really cool to see
Lots of good tricks and advice! But I also enjoyed the stylish "fibre cable protection barrier"!!!
Scott's tone explaining how to do finish carpentry gave me flashbacks to my dad reaching me how to change the oil in a car when I was 15.
Me at 15: "Dad, you're pretty good at this. You should do it and I'll hand you wrenches."
The progress looks great. Keep up the good work yall
Nice tool belt. I did something similar for my wife many years ago when I got her a custom-made trapeze harness for sailing. Much better than off-the-rack.
When you cut the mitre mate, try standing the board up vertical, easy to work with the timbers
Probably too high for his 216mm blade.
Jess is barely coping with the coping joint 😂. There’s always a smartass hey Scott 😂
Hey Scott, i'm not fluent in english, i understand mostly what you say but, would you put subtitles when your wife speak ?! Her accent is a bit "strong" if i can say it like that.
Thank you anyway for the content and sharing your experience !
World fame. At 3.53-ish. "A Glasgow Kiss". Perfect. Yeah, we're on the map.
At 15.19-ish, I remember sitting with a piece of skirting board and a sharp knife trying to shape a joint for a round top skirting board. Patience !!!
Please show me/us how to do it properly.
Msg to Jess. He's showing YOU how to do "carpentry" stuff. How's his other "householdy" skills.
Just for the sake of "balance" as one has to do now.
Love the videos and wish I could do it myself. I have to just watch others do it for me. HOWEVER, it gives me the skills to critique a tradesman's work now. 😀.
When do you start "gainful" work. 🤤
9:14 try to use your pushstick near the blade not the fence. Helps preventing that the piece turns into the blade a bit more.
Love the little 12v planner I'm going to have to buy one
If you have a Lowes near you they are ditching the 12 v Bosch line so they are on clearance. Got mine for 47$
I'm on my way over there then. I LOVE my "baby" Bosch set.
All trim guys have a planer. It makes you want one
, but unless you're a pro or just have the money, they aren't necessary
Thank you Scotty & Jess. I believe there is years of training to gain the skills of a component cabinet maker. As they say "You build for show, but cabinet make for dough." Cheers
Great job 👍
Learn something from you today around the corner. 🤗💪👏👍
Love watching your content brother. I have learnt so much from watching your videos! Love it ❤
Nicely done, Mr. Brown. So many people (they call themselves carpenters, but they're really not) use shoe molding or quarter round along the floor to make up for the gaps.
I dont know where you are from but here in the uk we call that DIY
Jess summs up the tool belt issue so well😂 in europe i'm use to having a belt with a hammer and like ONE nail pocket.. tgat foldable 2m stick and a pencil on the right side of your Trousersand good as gold
MDF nice and flexible to be able to push tight to floor. Although susceptible to moisture
I'm going to go to Newmarket now just to look at the skirting
Nice job, Scott.

Gerat video as always. Just thought I'd ask.
As a fellow chippy, im well looking forward to seeing that built in on the feature wall.
“Do your best and caulk the rest…” love it!…
What a pallaver 😝🏴
Awesome job Scott. Well done Jess you really are doing a great job as Scott's apprentice.
Not all saws have reverse threading. It depends on which side of the motor the blade is mounted on.
Man, that floor really turned out nice!
14:37 Wow, it is such a simple cool tool!
I hope you’ll do a video like this for window jams.
ficou muito boa a organização da sua “marcenaria”. Parabéns.
Used to work with a Glaswegian, and he kissed pretty good. It was his preferred method of settling disputes.
That new hikoki brad nailer looks so compact
I spent weeks teaching myself how to do this in Rimu round nose skirting and door surrounds, for one large room on some very messed up walls and floors.

And a special hats of to Jess for giving it a go, never easy having to learn a new set of skills on camera..! :):)
You painted rimu skirts?! Sacrilege! It should be polished and admired.
What a wonderful table-saw table you have! And all that plywood! .. Let's dig out the bottom sheet :-)
After you showed that yellow tool I found a warning about it on Lincoln St Woodworks. It’s very dangerous
I just did some skirts last week at my joint.. this was a week too late for me Scott!
I am just wondering Scott about the scribe of the skirting board. If you have to trim the bottom of the skirt to allow it to follow the floor thereby lowering the height of the board, doesn't that then throw out the height of the joining skirt along the next wall?
Someone can correct me but I think you need to find the largest gap in the whole room.
Yes. That’s why I find it easier to fit every piece, don’t nail anything or put 1 nail into every piece just to hold it temporarily, then scribe the whole room at one time. Finishes it the same height
That seems to make sense to me. Thanks Scotland.@@scotland2256

It’s made by Festool and bora also has one. In the older model saw it is stored in the front of the saw. Newer models in the back.
Drill holes with plugs for skirting??? That sounds so time-consuming 😢
@@papans147 sometimes indeed. When the skirting needs to be removable for cables etc.
Get masonry nails with a little washer. That allows enough fixing time for the adhesive to set. Ramset makes them among others.
@@Raysways1 when gluing the skirting we use high tack glue. When you put that on it sticks immediately. It’s like a sort of construction adhesive.
That floor looks stunning 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏼🤘🏿💋❤️
Hi Scott, Hi Jess
Thank you for another great Video!
Now I have a question...
Why do you use so many 18 gage brad nails?
I learned to be a finish carpenter and furniture maker in Germany and now have my own Business in Canada since 2011...
We don't staple baseboard in Germany because we have concrete walls, so it gets glued up with construction glue...
Now in Canada I discovered that if you caulk your trim yourself, which I do, four 23gage pin nails can be enough to keep your 2.4m or 8ft strip of trim perfectly in position... As my teacher used to say there is no need for 20 pins or nails the glue once its cured will hold it in place... I have had many talks about this with co- workers but at the end of the day they agreed I was right...
We also love to install trim that was sprayed with high gloss paint in a spray booth and the last thing you want is a lot of nails since you will not be able to fix it after.... since the paint job was done before the installation...
This is the way its mainly done in Europe. The Baseboard paint job gets fully finished before installation.. My advise try out the Makita 23 gage bin nailer. Your painter will love you and the results afterwards are absolutely amazing especially if your painter is not the best in his prep work!
Your Videos are awesome! Have been looking forward to your newest episodes every Friday afternoon since episode 150.
I gave up mitering joints for these flimsy skirtings about 30 years ago. I find it easier to get a good joint with square cuts (and glue).
Wow - the deck has silvered off fast!
Thank you and have a great day.
Assuming you have the same editing flow, the sound difference inside is incredible.
You do a Face cut then a Back cut as there are no internal miters on skirting.
Hi, I’m a qualified cabinet maker in Australia. Was considering doing an apprenticeship in carpentry to upskill and expand knowledge and employability.. I’m 26.. is it worth it? Would really appreciate anyone’s 2 cents 😂👍
Also love your work Scott!!
"Barely coping / couping with this tutorial". LOL! You got me with that one. 😂
The walls are in plaster or wood?
Just wonder were the brad nails are, well, nailed.
Liked the ripped scrap piece idea, to prevent blowout, but why did you use so much? Only need to go about 1/4 inch beyond the length mark, to save you more time/useage of the scrap.
