    Love the upside down jigsaw tip. Another tip for using the jigsaw... angle the blade a bit so you also produce a sharper edge to meet the wall (like you did with the table saw). It is then easy to adjust the edge with some minor sanding.

  • @robschillhorn7722

    For the playing card trick. I use post-it’s instead with the sticky side towards the wall. So no glue needed there. And when the edges you’re scribing to aren’t straight, you can just have post-it overlap a little onto the wall, trace it with a utility knife to cut the exact shape. Stick it onto your board and done.

    • @simplyraw1369

    One other idea for scribing - if you don't have too much variation to the wall surface (IE: Stone, Brick), you can put a washer, or a dowel with a hole drilled through it, over your pencil. It acts like a roller and moves smoothly with your pencil.

    This is the best tutorial session on scribing that I have seen, you've answered a lot of questions for me. I randomly DIY around the house and it's always a challenge to get pieces to fit nicely in a mobile home. Talk about seasonal changes, how 'bout when the whole damn place moves! Your last tip was great, "check the walls and scribe BEFORE the finished product is completed." Thanks for sharing, and SHOWING how it's done. This gets added to my top 3 "get smart" videos. Thank you very much.

    Before this video, I did not know what scribing let alone how to do it. After watching the video every home project I've hated has suddenly made so much sense. When you said scribing could be a two step process things started making even more sense on why past projects did not turn out like I planned. Just did a floating counter in our new walk-in pantry, and scribed it to the walls with a perfect fit! Thank you.

    Jason, This is an extremally helpful video. Thank you so much for this. I have done a couple of shelving jobs like in pantries or coat closets where I have to scribe 3 walls (the back wall and both sides) I believe it is called an alcove. I have used a few different methods just what I have figured out on my own. they did not always work out as good as I had hoped. There are few if any detailed videos on scribing. Thank you again for this video these are all awesome and useful tips. You sir are a talented craftsman. Hats off to you.

  • @cvcolomb
    @cvcolomb 2 роки тому +3

    This is all really good, very informative. As others have mentioned the tick-stick approach is also useful for these types of situations. In fact, it will allow you to 'scribe' in behind complex shapes (like a gutter) which have surfaces/faces that are inaccessible to a simple scribe tool.

    Good tips and love the upside down jigsaw one. Unfortunately most tutorials only focus on the end that needs scribing and ignore the real life problems. The last time I had to do this was with kitchen base units where the wall was wavy and the floor wasn't level. So, I had to scribe both sides of a corner while making sure that the top would be level with the worktop and the front would be flush. They were laminated particle boards so I didn't have the luxury of scribing the wall and floor sides then cutting the front and top to the right sizes. The scribe lines couldn't just be a random distance from the edge, but taking material off one edge would also affect the other edge. And that was just in my own kitchen!

    Jason great video for the newbies and start up guys, only thing you didn't mention I thought I would point out is the depth of the cabinet or dressing panel.
    When scribing you need to have enough material to ensure the panel still aligns with the front of you piece or have enough of a service void on the back of a cabinet as not risk having to unnecessarily cut into you cabinet back panel.
    Great video as usual and totally agree regarding the trend scribe it's to thick to get a nice scribe on alot of surfaces like brick or textured walls.
