How to Scribe an infill or filler strip. P1 of 3 [video 352][Gifted/Ad**]

[@fastbikerwilko]

Completely get your last video about balancing time to make videos and earn a living. I don't earn my living this way, but my dad who sadly passed away before he saw me discover the joys of building my own furniture would of i hope been pleased with my hobby that furnishes our home. So I turn to channels like yours for good, honest, practical advice from your personal deep experience, its an inspiration and a library of future hints, techniques and of course essential tools! So please carry on and I don't mind the frequency dropping (well I do miss them, but I understand why) and i love the honesty and including the odd times you make a mistake, it keeps it real and the 99% of the time its right a solid vision of what I can work towards. Thanks Peter

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks Andrew!

[@Bigfoot0510]

"try your best, then caulk the rest" is always a good motto for getting a scribe line right

[@tomwilson5822]

Another school day. Love it. Never thought that I would enjoy being back at school at 70

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Peter, I take my hat off to you! Never seen it done this way and I will change my style after three decades! Thank you!

[@coherantbliss3483]

I installed cab's for many years and got used to pre cutting the scribed piece of wood then finish it off with my belt sander laid on its side to get the scribed piece almost perfect. It takes awhile to get used to it (using the belt sander) but it proved to be the fastest and cleanest way for me. I also clamped the scribe to a bench and used the belt sander on it that way also but mostly lay the beltsander on its side clamped to a table (using a homemade jig to hold the beltsander) and run the scribe piece by hand across the end of the beltsander. Plus I always used just the compass scribe to mark the scribe piece. I once had to scribe an entertainment center between two brick walls and the mortar was recessed different depths and was also different vertically too...I used the edge of the flat part of the belt sander to sand-to the scribed mark...got them both done in about an hour and they fit great...but I wouldn't want to do that again! Was a pain in the arse and very dusty lol....the entertainment center was 84" tall and had to scribe the whole 84" both sides...geese. After I did that all other scribe jobs were a piece of cake. I also worked at a boat building company in Oregon and had to scribe everything so one tends to get good at it when it is done all the time. ANother trick I learned when working for Gates Learjet in Tucson Arizona was taping off the curved wall and then making a plywood bulkhead close to the shape of the curved wall and then using bondo to fill-in the gaps. Bondo does not stick to masking tape but it does to wood so you just take the bulkhead off the wall when the bondo is cured, sand it flush with the face of the plywood then lay that plywood on the cabinet side and mark and sand to the scribed line...sounds like a lot of work but it actually wasn't...the LearJets cabinets had to fit tight so that you could not slip a piece of paper between the cabinet and Jet hull. The cabinets were made from a special light weight aluminum panel similar to the way a hollow core house door is made but only about 1/2" thick overall. Very light and very strong material. Ok I talked too much! EDIT: Skilled craftsmen are a dying breed these days and so are custom cabinet shops...it really is a shame.

[@elliotalderson4031]

sanding pad on grinder works well also for brick scribes. good for coping skirts and quads

[@teac117]

For an extended tip, try back beveling 5 deg or so on the jigsaw. It makes for less wood to remove by sandpaper/plane. It also avoids partly any front-back undulation in the wall.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks. One step at a time, Part 2 already scheduled for Tuesday. 👍👍

[@barrieheard9426]

Peter Millard that’s what I do. Use a normal handsaw cut next to line back cut. Better finish then jig saw less vibrations. I do it with architraves a lot bit of a work out old Skool

[@johnmackay7789]

Barrie Heard was the way my journeyman taught me.Even with all the tech, I still find back bevelling with a hand saw always gives a better finish. Your right , a bit of a work out.

[@ThekiBoran]

I free hand a rough cut on a table saw with a 15° or so bevel. I finish with a belt sander. Usually there are zero or very, very small gaps.

[@paulegan2252]

I am a novice, but I just used my scroll saw and it did nicely too.

Peter, I first want to thank you for your spot on teaching style, brilliant. I just finished making a walk in "safe room/closet" in a large walk in closet. The mechanism works very well, but it is now time to scribe between the pivoting door and the side walls. I have never attempted this before and I have been searching for a good KZbin video on how to do it. There a a lot out there, but none of them clearly explained as yours. Thank you so much for your excellent videos.

Great video, love the demo of different ways to do something. 40 years ago, when I was a strapping young man, I was very much into high altitude mountain climbing, you had to carry everything you needed to survive so equipment weight was critical. I ran into an "old timer" who taught me, "An ounce of technique is worth a pound of equipment". There are a lot of tools out there today but not enough emphasis on technique. Thanks again for the great videos

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Yeah, I think it's how most guys in the trades do it - certainly the guys I know, anyway. First came across it on the old FOG forums around 2006 or so - a barrel grip jiggy makes life a lot easier! 👍

[@Gidjoiner]

@@10MinuteWorkshop Yeah i was taught it many yrs ago, a thick blade helps to stop the blade wandering making it easier to control the cut 👍

Thanks some good tips and like the inverted jigsaw as did see down cut blades but they push the jigsaw up. Question how to scribe to a cupboard that is fitted to a recess that sits either side of a fireplace, but the cupboard protrudes out beyond the wall by 20cm or more?

[@MrBishbashbosh2012]

Peter, thank you for using your spare time to share these helpful tips - much appricated. I bought downcut blades for my jigsaw and prefer to use the jigsaw on top of the fillet and clamped. The guys on site who do it the way you are showing do it for a living every day and are very skilled - guess I need more practise...

Well, I have a laugh at ‘spare time’ but thanks! 😂 And yes, it takes some prescribe with the upside down jigsaw; downcut blades are great, but always a concern with a ore-finished piece. 👍👍

[@u-scribejig]

great video Peter, thanks for adding our handy scribe #3rdhand to your scribe tools and to your videos, great explanation of scribing using the offset method something I like to cover in our instagram stories too, I scribe a hell of a lot of fillers and leaving some of the pencil line in, chamfering the back edge and touching up with a sander or plane is definitely a great tip as mentioned by a couple of others in the comments but all round excellent explanations of scribing, ill have to pull my finger out with our you tube videos

[@thedieiscast9729]

In the past I have used an up-cut blade in my jigsaw this allows the workpiece to be supported on a sawhorse or work table. I also cover the scribing piece with tape to prevent any marking from the saw. yes it takes a bit longer and you need the blade and tape but it has always worked well for me. Thanks for showing us your methods. Ps liked the u scribe

[@kevinthomson6324]

I have had the same compass in my tool bag for 20 plus years but have been tempted many times to pick up one of those you scribe pencil holders. They look handy and the compass often gives too much detail to the line. Just needs to be close enough for the lipstick (caulking) to cover.

[@shaunnewman8375]

'And British'.....You sold me sir!

[@duncanmacleod7283]

Refreshing to hear the correct term 'pair of compasses' as opposed to compass. Yes I know it's pedantic but it is correct! ;-)

[@rogerprice4504]

Must get round to putting a fillet between my kitchen cabinet install and the wall. Now I know the best way to scribe it. As I'm at home, I think I will use my Bandsaw though as the Jig saw looks a bit risky. Thanks for the tips

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Bandsaw’s the best tool for the job - just not the kind of thing you can readily take onsite! 👍👍

Great thanks for your videos I use washers made with the crown drill of MDF and the pencil inside the hole or iron washer of different sizes note; you can use the saw from above with saw that has the cutting tooth down A greeting from Spain

[@peterratcliffe5115]

You can get down cutting blades for jigsaws. Ive used them for this exact job last time I fitted a kitchen. You just have to keep tight hold of it.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks Peter. Downcut blades can work well, but using the jigsaw upside down keeps the jiggy base off a pre-finished scribe and keeps the cut line clear. As I say at the end of the vid, use what you’re comfortable using 👍👍

[@placacentrocasamania]

Hi Peter If the problem is the wall I think that is the wall to be "fixed". If a chanell is made on the wall at least the deep of the waviness of the wall plus Xmm, is possible to insert the filler in the wall and fix it to the carcase, maybe the filler has to be placed before the cabinet. What do you think? saludos Gerardo

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

I think that would be a lot more work than simply scribing an infill! 👍👍

[@mawky1]

how would you scribe this infill if your wardrobe protrudes out from your Alcove if that makes sense. Eg My Fireplace sticks out approx 18 inches from the main wall creating an Alcove but my Wardrobe front is another 10 inches into the room. There is a gap left between where the Front of the fireplace is and the side of the wardrobe, so how do you scribe the infill please?

[@jamesgary8391]

Hi, the filler width is 54mm or 60mm? Thanks.

[@markdavis9990]

When doing these scribes use a downward cutting blade on the jigsaw. They are widely available and will ultimately do a better job. In addition, slightly under cut the scribed board so that only the front edge comes into contact with the wall.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Using a jigsaw upside down keeps a clear view of the line, and keeps the face of the board clean. Downcut blades have their uses, but scribing isn’t one of them. 👍

[@MazMaslin]

Try clamping the jogsaw in the vice for m9re stability.

[@pizzaboy3946]

Thanks for the video which is most helpful. I did wonder why you didn't use a downward-cutting jigsaw blade?

Afternoon Peter a great tutorial as always. I suppose if you are on site with a workmate type device you could hold the jigsaw in that. You could also fix the jigsaw to a mdf board offcut and clamp that to a stable surface

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Yes indeed, lots of ways to make that cut 👍👍

[@KevinGarcia-yp5rk]

Great video Peter, would back cutting the scribes help you to get them in tighter where the wall gets narrower towards the back wall.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

A different approach (see P2, out Tuesday) helps - or a lot more practice with the jigsaw 👍👍

[@iaianhardy2574]

I think is best to use a circular scribe guide, as then there is no need to be concerned about holding the marker at 90 deg. Finish last 1mm with sandpaper, apply caulk to edge before fitting and clean off. If you are fussy, that is!

[@pascaldegroot1294]

How come the cut isn't made on the bandsaw ?

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Because you diner generally have a bandsaw with you on-site, where these cuts are made. 👍

[@David-xu3yk]

I've not tried the upside down jigsaw yet. I currently use a compass for scribing in radiator covers.

[@adamhasan4736]

Another great video Peter - have been eagerly waiting for this. Have managed some reasonably accurate scribes lately (after lots of fine adjusting with sandpaper), but being obsessive 'reasonably' doesn't cut it - I look forward to scribing without the need for caulking one day. Very much looking forward to the rest of the series.

I recently saw someone scribing in their home built campervan using a disk cut with a holsaw. "The bigger, the better," he said.

[@petercoughlan103]

Some very similar methods here as I use myself. The only thing I would say is if your filler piece is the full height of say a wardrobe or a larder in a kitchen, using the jig saw upside down would be difficult. I use blades with a downward cut so I'm working from the top to keep the filler piece fully supported all the time. Good job though👍

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Yep. Always a concern about marring the surface of it’s pre-finished though 👍👍

[@mhole79]

Especially with downcut blades - they're constantly trying to push the jigsaw away from the workpiece, so you have to bear down harder, and increasing the chances of marking your front face.

Just use a clean down cut blade on jigsaw?

[@johnclose2323]

Hi Peter, how about a spokeshave like a Stanley 152 for making those curves on the infills? Love the videos very interesting and very professionally put together. I have a Bosch GKS65 Circular Saw and wondered if its worth getting a track for that? Cheers John

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Hi John, and thanks! Yes, a spoke shave would do it - I don’t own one, but if you have one then absolutely. Re the saw, if it fits on a guiderail, then yes, it would make for more accurate / easier straight cuts, though obviously it’s a regular circular saw not a plunge saw, so you’d be restricted to starting & finishing the cut at the edge of the board. 👍👍

Is there a reason for cutting the infill to width before cutting the scribe rather than afterwards ?

If you screw up the ‘cutting to width’ after you’ve made the scribe, then it’s a lot of wasted effort. Better to trim it back first IMHO. 👍

[@Bob_Burton]

@@10MinuteWorkshop But surely you are more liable to screw up cutting the scribe than the straight line on the other side that just needs marking or measuring at the top and bottom
