U-Scribe Jig - Step By Step Tutorial (New 2023)

[@paulyoull5472]

I’ve had these in my arsenal for years now. Don’t use them as much as others might so always check this video out just to reference back to the best methods. Love them !!!

[@stephencave187]

I figured out the offset method but hadn't seen infinity method before. Thanks 👍🏻

[@u-scribejig]

No problem 👍 happy to help

[@truthandpowertothepeople5648]

Great video mate.👍

[@jasonmassey4190]

Awesome 👏 I use the u scribes all the time. Brilliant tip on notching out on the top filler👍

[@u-scribejig]

No problem. Thanks Jason. I like to help people get the best result as well as showing them how handy uscribes can be 👍🏻

[@chrisjames3831]

Agreed! Great tip

[@craftywoodworks551]

Well I found it a very functional and instructive video, easy to understand from a tradesman on-site. It’s a clever piece of kit and is very simple in it application, two methods for the price of one, and yes it costs a lot for what they are, however everything is expensive these days, it’s like people who use festool are generally paid better(my opinion anyways). I’ll be buying a set.😊

[@u-scribejig]

Thankyou very much for the kind words crafty, we try to offer the best value for money we can, and most people make the money back in just a couple of jobs in time alone

[@m0aze611]

Thank you. Regards Mike

[@ianhuckle8101]

just bought some.... jeez... why have i not thought of this after 20+ years of making fitted furniture... excellent.... Little tip. When using the infinity method, cut a little 45 deg angle on the corners. That way the block will slide better and not be prone to jam on plaster ceilings or walls

[@u-scribejig]

Thanks Ian, really appreciate the kinds words sir

[@darrenbailey27]

Good video. I found it was very easy to follow as i have just built and installed my 1st wardrobe and struggled with the trim until i brought these jigs. Complete time and money saver for sure. Keep up the good work Danny

Thanks buddy. Hope all is well Daz. Long time no see dude

Thanks James. Appreciate it

Just bought a set for building wardrobes in a very wonky victorian house. Looks like it's going to save me an awful lot of hassle holding the trim, a block and marking at the same time. Wish me luck!

[@chrisjames3831]

This is a fantastic product, that saves so much time and gives great results. @uscribjig - you say that infinity is used more on jobs. Why is that? Apart from when you have a return to get around, what are the other advantages of the infinity? Thanks!

[@u-scribejig]

@@chrisjames3831 more just speed on the style of installation we do, no pre rip needed on the infinity method

[@virutasvideiro]

Good work. For the final adjustment also for make bevel degree i was Discover is more easy and efective and better adjustment use a grinder White a sand wood disc. For the raw one disc used for marble or steel, after one like sand wood 200 grain, more or less depend the material i can achieve accuracy about 0 or 0'5 mm daily. More more fast as sander or plane,following better the curves and so important: lessss tired. Greetings from Spain. Nice jigs.

Superb still not used mines and had for months but after watching this video I will be finding an excuse for Monday 😂

[@u-scribejig]

You got this!

[@chrisjames3831]

And it would be great to do an overlay instruction. I assume infinity method minus the thickness of the carcass is the way you do it with these jigs?

[@u-scribejig]

[@chechesilvestre7833]

For the infinity method did yung measure first the gap including the 18mm bords?

[@chrisjames3831]

Fantastic video - really thorough ans super helpful. Keep up the good work. Ive already ordered some of these and am about to use them! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. So many negative comments - ignore them mate. honestly, some people just love a moan. Theyd complain about winning the lottery is they had to go and collect the cheque

thanks Chris, it can be very hard to please everybody...... we appreciate the product isn't for everyone but for those that like it are interested we are here spreading that ever knowledge we can

[@RyanCostain-f9w]

is that the electric planer you're using to get the scribe line? or sander?

[@danthechippie4439]

I see on your website that you offer a shim wedge. Do you have a video explaining how to use it?

[@u-scribejig]

we used it very early on before we had multiple sizes to allow for thinner boards, they still are useful but selecting the right size jig is better

[@garvielloken3929]

Last bit needs some editing! Thanks !

[@russ623]

In the process of fitting wardrobes as a DIYer since the trade are quoting ridiculous prices. Just ordered the U-Scribe Jig. The wardrobes ( 3 x 1000mm ) are assembled and in the upright position but not secured to the wall yet. Best way to secure? Thank you.

[@u-scribejig]

@@russ623 hi Russ. Just depends on your chosen finish and material. I always try to position screws behind hinges or hinge plates. If you do have to have them visable you can find colour match waxes and cover caps to cover over any screws 👍🏻

[@russ623]

@@u-scribejig I was going to secure to the back wall using frame fasteners ( at the top / back above the shelf ) just to stop any movement as well as to each other. Pretty heavy but just want to be sure.

[@ericthekingthekingtheking4842]

has the scribe block always got to be the same thickness as your cabinets 18mm in your case

[@u-scribejig]

In the offset position yes buddy. That will always work

[@Jdcarpentrycov]

Hi, with the infinity method, what’s the height? Can it be whatever you want as long as it’s higher than the gap you’re filling ? So 100mm for example ?

[@u-scribejig]

exactly that, literally to infinity, as long as the cut bock it the size of your pre cut filler it can be any size, within reason too as the longer the cut block the less accurate you will be

[@gordontaylor3454]

I know you say people get caught up with how the infinity works, am I right in saying it kind of works in the same way as when marking out laminate flooring against a wall?

[@u-scribejig]

Perfect example

[@jackb5998]

On the infinity method how u did a cut block the same size as your top scribe say for example that was capping over your tops would u just + 18 to your block? Same goes for scribes if it caps over your gable?

[@jackb5998]

-18 I mean lol

[@u-scribejig]

yes jack, in the infinity method scribing a fitted filler into the gap between the unit and the wall all you need to do is cut a block the exact same size as the width of the filler material your about to scribe, i.e. 150mm filler use a 150mm cut block, if you want to overlay that filler simply allow your cabinet thickness or panel thickness extra again i.e. lets say you have a 50mm void and an 18mm cabinet you would need a 68mm filler to overlay the face of the cabinets, which would mean 18mm + onto your filler or 18-mm less from your cut bock to allow the extra material over lapping the face. hope that helps

[@jackb5998]

@@u-scribejig cheers pal helps a lot 👍

[@bps739]

What do you do if the wood piece is pushed back and not flush. How would you pull it out?

[@russrua2937]

Use an extended wooden block over the trim, gently tap, covering the full length. If you're patient, all will be well.

[@MrApaHotel]

You could include an offset block together with the jiggs 🙂

[@u-scribejig]

We do scribe compasses and block scribes

[@legionaireone]

What if I want to draw a trim that is required to be flat with the front? And preferably between the front door and the trim the remaining gap will be 2mm.

[@wadachtge]

Then u use the offset method, instead of using the thickness of the board (say 18mm) you scribe it with 29mm (18mm from the offset method + 9mm for the door +2mm for the gap)

[@alvarobustamantemorales1205]

Hi! The 16mm will fit too loose on 15mm melamine?

[@u-scribejig]

correct it is designed for 116mm boards

[@hunjoey]

I'm not sure if I have ever seen a melamine board that is exactly 18 mm thick. I even have a piece that is 18.5 mm. So how does the jig overcome this obsticle?

[@barcusful]

Just got the kit. Which screws are best to use.

[@u-scribejig]

we would advise using non counter sink screws to attach scribes to your material, and we also recommend not using an impact driver too

[@deancarter4109]

Stupid question alert. When doing the infinity scribe do you just connect the line where the holders are??

[@u-scribejig]

Use the block the same width. And keep the line in bud. Very fast and accurate

[@dazlarg]

How do you do a s scribe you want to sit on the face of the cabinet..

[@Jason-zr9ms]

I thing you can proceed like the top, and you remove 18mm from the piece of wood with which you trace

[@OTaKuoNeOn]

Would be good to have an aluminium version I have broke 2 of them just screwing them.

[@u-scribejig]

we would advise using non counter sinking screws and definitely not the use of impact drivers as these rip anything apart in our prototype phase we found metal or aluminium products eventually damaged the surface of panel or cabinets

[@alekznial]

Just about to order a set. I had one question about the offset method. When you’re measuring the gap from the wall to the carcass to figure out the size of filler are you measuring the smallest or bigger gap size?

[@21ADB21]

Think he mis-spoke. Must be the biggest measurement surely?

[@RedG0bb0]

@@21ADB21 If you cut to the largest size, your filler piece will not fit between the wall and the carcass at the points where the gap is smallest. Don't forget you're going to remove the thickness of your carcass ~18mm from the filler piece. When you first line up the filler piece you're lining up with the right-hand edge. When you're done you'll be lined up with the left-hand edge of the carcass.

[@26diesel74]

He said the narrowest

[@WillLafferty]

I think he described it accurately. If you use the largest gap as your measurement, then at the point of narrowest gaps, the wall will push your piece back past the edge of your cabinet (and bend the uscribe). You use the narrowest point so that you can have your right side flush with your cabinet. This doesn't bend the uscribe and allows it to work correctly. so the filler piece will touch the narrowest point, align with the right cabinet edge, and have small gap along the wider points. since you're going to be scribing and cutting off the excess, the small gaps at the larger ponts don't matter. Again, it would matter if you used the largest measurement, and then the narrowest point pushed your whole filler piece too far away from the wall. You could probably still make the scribe, but your filler piece would too wide by the difference between the narrowest and widest points.

[@tkfinstallationskitchenfit1002]

If I'm correct, using this method the scribe can't be larger than 18mm

[@MrApaHotel]

What screw do you recommend for 13mm thick fillers (IKEA)?

[@u-scribejig]

Something quite small sir. The jigs are 3mm thick plus your filler thickness. 12mm is going to be close. Around 9-10 would seem pretty safe

[@TheMacshep]

Get on with it already for the love of time !!! it’s not the technical 😂

[@ThePhilvantwo]

Used mine today, rather disappointed to be honest. For something that must cost pennies to make and you charge a premium price it's a poor product. I shall go back to the old scribing method I've used for 40 odd years.
