@GregVirgoe4 жыл бұрын
Hi Tim, the problem with using a round washer is it will scribe inside curves to a smaller radius and outside curves to a greater radius so the result line will never be a close fit. The bigger the washer the greater the error. Better to use a scribe that comes to a point and keep it horizontal to the floor as you go down the wall. But then you did say you weren't after an accurate finish ;D lol
@TheRestorationCouple4 жыл бұрын
Yes totally different if I was scribing trim indoors but where room is needed for expansion outside and a less accurate finish this was a good way to demo a simple DIY method. 👍

To reduce tear out you should try Starrett dual cut blades. Cuts on the up and down stroke giving less (next to no) tear out. Great video and the washer idea is one I'll note down - love the channel

Thanks for your tips. I am in a similar situation installing flooring against a large stone hearth & cutting an angle on the bandsaw first was crucial! Tough to cut 3/4” oak flooring with a jigsaw.
@superiorbeing954 жыл бұрын
I guess the radius of the washer stops very small indents being marked so it's like reducing the resolution and it gives you a smoother cutting line.
@TheRestorationCouple4 жыл бұрын
Exactly. On a smooth wall a compass or similar would be fine but would be a pain with masonry.
@chrisembleton6244 жыл бұрын
you could use a big washer to get the general shape, then a smaller one for fine details if you need it. depends on how tight the finish needs to be i guess.
@mankillsquareАй бұрын
@@chrisembleton624 different radius washers will move your "base" scribe line though so need to account for that with the placement of the piece when scribing.

Scribing is best done by whatever method you find best. I've tried it your way and it works fine so don't listen to the 🛎 🔚 who sati us he'd use a scroll saw! Not sure what planet he's from! I've used the table saw on site when there's nothing else, I've used a handsaw when it's not so 'wavy'. Personally I'd have used a compass with a fine sharpie as i use 4h pencils so difficult to mark on oak. If a can't find the compasses I'll use a bit of wood with a pointed end to the wall and just keep it level. Never seen the washer trick but I like it. (been a joiner for 35yrs so I've learnt something!) Cutting it I'd angle the base of the jigsaw and cut it from the face. There isn't much tearout to be honest. The down cutting blades are more dangerous to me sit bounces out. Anyway, Good job. 👍
@Terrythemaker4 жыл бұрын
The only thing I would have done differently is I would have put a 1/4 inch blade on the bandsaw and used that to cut out the shape rather than use the jigsaw, but still with table on a tilt to save cutting twice. You would have the same angle cut all the way through. Especially with that amazing bandsaw you have, the sabre is a great saw
@TheRestorationCouple4 жыл бұрын
I planned to do that but finding space to manoeuvre a long timber on the bandsaw is a little tricky in there at the moment 😂 Plus not everyone has a bandsaw so always good to show basic DIY tools where possible. 👍

Hi Tim, great scribing tip, I will try it next time I need to scribe to a wall. You said you did not want to trap moisture between the wall and the oak, so will you run a bead of silicone down the joint once you are done?
@TheRestorationCouple4 жыл бұрын
Silicone would probably cause more damage as it tends to trap moisture. As it’s under cover there isn’t any need to ‘seal’ it but a careful pointing with lime mortar is an option when I come to redo the stonework.
@tedwarden16084 жыл бұрын
I normally use a pair of compasses or dividers. Although I must admit that jig looked very quick to use.
@TheRestorationCouple4 жыл бұрын
Yes I would usually use the same if doing interior trim but for bumpy exterior stone it would be ‘too accurate’ if you know what I mean and therefore you would end up smoothing out the lines as you cut anyway.

Tim how do you decide the starting width of the timber so that once it's scribed it finishes where it needs to be? or do you scribe first and trim to width after.

@slopes832 жыл бұрын
In this case I’d guess his cladding would give him the wiggle room. As long as it doesn’t look too thin he doesn’t need a perfect final width because he could cut the cladding long. Trimming after scribing can technically work but I don’t like doing it. The remaining flat reference edge will need to ride along the fence as you cut. This is your new show side and will probably will have blade marks (and maybe burn if you’re using a table saw). These need to be sanded off and restrained if you’re using pre-finished stock. [Remember to measure with the blade kerf in mind since you’re keeping the “waste” side of the cut!] If you need a specific final width, you need to know how much stock is being removed so you can do the math. To find that amount, first put the board against your surface and measure the widest gap. If you’re using a compass and you set it to exactly that width, you’re done: that’s the measurement of width you’re losing. If you’re using the washer method (or setting your compass to take more than the absolute minimum) you need to measure the distance between your scribe line and the wall where the wood is touching the stone. This is the biggest amount of wood being cut away. Use that (remembering to account for blade kerf) to get your final measurement. Hope that helps - I’ve never tried to write it out before. I’m sure there are good videos out there too to check out.

Yeah a standard handled jigsaw is not as easy and a little clumsy, providing you are cutting away from yourself it’s not too high risk. But yes, stay safe folks. 👍
