Master The Art Of Scribing & Cutting For Perfect Cladding Results!

Scribing the last cladding board to finish the job. In this video I show you how to mark and cut a long scribe against the really uneven brick wall
I use a jigsaw for this process and do the cut from the underside this technique is used by carpenters and joiners across the globe and is a frowned upon by some!!!!

That line you cut is fairly similar to when I try and make a straight cut with a jigsaw 🙂

[@protectiongeek]

Scribing-in is sorcery! Magic! Love watching this work so much better than my efforts. Excellent video, as always, Robin. Thank you!

[@carguillo1]

JUST PRESS THE SCRIB BUTTON DONE😀😀

[@Boobypoppop]

Really good Robin, excellent finish and, great explanation of a skill which all carpenters need!

[@ricos1497]

Lovely job Robin, great finish. I love doing scribe work in my DIY/renovation works, it's so satisfying when it comes out perfectly, which it surprisingly often does. I did a scribe of the inside of a stone chimney last year to make a metal template above a wood burner. It was very complicated (and upside down) but it was near flawless (for something nobody will ever see!). I also scribed tiles (cut with a grinder) for a hearth on the same job, which also worked perfectly. If I'd hired somebody to do the work, I suspect they'd have just done a straight cut and grouted or cemented the gap, but it's amazing how much better it looks when scribed. Have to say, I much prefer working in wood over metal or tiles though.

[@markdyballuk]

a real professional, thank you Robin

[@Paulo-nf7ms]

Ah-ha! The jigsaw upside down!!!! This is the genius tip I didn't know I needed. Many thanks Mr Clevett.

[@philgrant83]

Attention to detail as always. Makes for a great job. Looks fantastic.

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you very much!

[@JonDunnmusician]

Good morning, Robin. What a beautiful work site. Nice to see that pup running around too. Of all the sophisticated reflections and comments I could conjure, what I take from this the most is: as you get old, your pants start to fall down. Now I wear a carpenter woodworking apron- thank you for the smile Cheers, -Jonathan Ps- I see the gas charged Milwaukee brad nailer: wonderful tool. Pps- In our shop we went to all stainless a few years back: every brad, screw, bolt... inspired by my marine/boat work. Now when you reach for a fastener there is never a second guess, you know it is ALWAYS stainless.

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Jon, many thanks for your comment made me smile!! its a good plan to just use stainless!! we are almost there!! have a great day

[@garyhollywell2112]

Agreed with the previous comment Quality is what we need more of in Construction, everyone wants to get in and out quickly it seems and the quality suffers, but I get that customers need to also be prepared to pay for quality!

[@ukconstruction]

True on both counts Gary!! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@skaterguy52]

Great work robin

[@user-vg2uu3ip8m]

Hi Robin, all my manual saw cuts have a backing bevel! Great channel to watch, just a shame it's been after I've done most of my flat roof extension, but I'm pleased that it appears that I did most of it right, I had the furrings made for me, the cladding videos will come in useful. I assuming the same principles apply to plastic?, woods nice but it's the upkeep that puts me off. The original bungalow, where I live now, the sites has been in our family for over one hundred years, was of wooden construction and I can remember that every year my Grandad and then my Dad would creosote it up until it was knocked down and rebuild with brick. There are a couple of walls, not all of the bungalow was timber, where the walls are, lets say, out of true and it would be nice to clad it as a nod to the past. You are a master craftsman at work, Lawrence

[@Jeff-bg7pt]

Very nice finish

[@samposton9101]

Really smart Robin. Beautiful fit and great tutorial

Another stunning job bro

[@ukconstruction]

Thanks Davie!! Great to have you here in my comments bro

[@hardeepsaund7963]

Loved the series. You're a gentleman and a scholar.

[@ukconstruction]

Thanks mate

[@davebell9786]

Top quality job as usual

[@ukconstruction]

I appreciate that

[@jason-hh6lu]

Nice work. 👍🏻

[@ukconstruction]

Thanks 👍

[@jonathantaylor147]

Perfect timing. Got to scribe some cladding on my house tomorrow 😊

[@ukconstruction]

I'm happy the timing was good!!

[@markb1971]

Very satisfying when you do a nice scribe especially architraves against dodgy plaster work 😂 to true about having the weight of your tool bag on your shoulders not on your hips . I'm on my 3rd snickers toolvest . Plenty of pockets and attachments for your gear

[@garethlfoster]

Another great video robin well presented and instructed👍

[@ukconstruction]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@liammcnulty7112]

Well done Robyn, just the way I was taught in Donegal, lovely to watch your work😊

[@ukconstruction]

Cheers Liam!!!!

[@cprfenom]

The Dog was as invested as I was! 😃

[@jonfenwick6200]

A beautiful scribe. Always struggle with this in different applications/areas. Such a good thing to know, as it really shows off the skills, and it's something the client can see and appreciate. As most of our work is usually "behind the scenes" so to speak. Brilliant job Robin mate. Really enjoyed this one. Would love to see you show scribing on other areas too( plinths, fillet pieces etc).

[@ukconstruction]

Thanks Jon, really appreciate your kind comment mate especially from a fellow craftsman

[@wrightwoodwork]

On the jigsaw part when cutting upside down i prefer to pull the jigsaw towards me. Plus i have the mafell jigsaw so I often reverse the blade as it gives a more stabe surface i feel

[@derekrobertson1548]

Great series, picked up a few tips for my next attempt at cladding. Thank you. What brand of stainless steel pins do you use?

[@pseggons9512]

Great timing for this series of vids. I am just about to timber clad a barn conversion. 👍 very useful. One concern is the twin and earth cable powering the flood light on the wall next to where you are working. Twin and earth cable is not UV stable and easily damaged. ?

[@SJWardBuilders]

👌👌

[@jimrowland8310]

Robin lovely job as always, but I can’t believe your still using that great big framing hammer for trim work, you should get yourself a nice stiletto 14oz trim hammer, you’d love it 😊

[@ukconstruction]

This hammer is perfect for everything and also those hammers you mention are like hundreds of pounds!!! mine was £50, I do have a couple of smaller hammers these are also Estwing

[@paulzirker706]

Great tips would like to see a short on your cat ladder thingy. You're a master craftsman.

[@ukconstruction]

Thats my next video!!!

[@martindorrance8133]

If the owners are satisfied with running an ugly powe cable up the wall, I hope they appreciate your level of craftsmanship.

[@ukconstruction]

This Martin was an existing feature when they bought the house, we have plans to improve that!!

[@martindorrance8133]

Thanks, Robin. I thought you may be onto it.

[@dwalsh3469]

Top job. Am I right in thinking that the cladding is held in with 18 gauge Brad nails? I have a domestic shed cladding project this year and was wondering if 18 (or 16) gauge brads are good enough.

[@johnmcgrath7133]

it must add a lot of extra time filming losing part of your profit but the teaching legacy priceless

[@ukconstruction]

Hi John, I want to share my knowledge, it does cost me time but as you kindly said it will be hopefully helpful to the next generation and others after!!

[@cuthbertcollingwood6755]

Hello Robin, could you give a recommendation for treating Thermowood to stop greying? thanks.

[@ukconstruction]

Hi mate, there is a product by Safegaurd Europe that will do the job to a point, here is a link but... reach out to their technical department to make sure this is the one they recommend amzn.to/4dfSpHh

[@AndrewLumsden]

Flawless craftsmanship! 👌👏 I assume the dog is on full consultancy rates!?

[@ukconstruction]

He certainly is!! he is the star of the show in the next video!!!

[@AndrewLumsden]

@@ukconstruction OMG. Not lifting his leg over your cladding!? 😲😖🤣

[@paulfraney]

what do you use to fasten the boards to the timber is that a 16g fastener

[@ukconstruction]

Mainly 16g and 18g if there is enough fixing points or batten courses, here we had the battens at about 450 centres and we used a pair of 50mm stainless steel 18g brads on each fixing point (through the face) if the battens where at 600 centres we would have stepped up to 16g

[@danthechippie4439]

Is wood movement a concern with it being tight to the brick work?

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Dan, the cladding scribe has a couple of millimetres of gap and also the tongue and groove at the adjacent board has an expansion space so it will be cool, but if it was jammed in then this could be a problem!!

[@baldyslapnut.]

Any reason you didn't put a nail or screw through your timber scribing tool, acting like a marking gauge?

[@ukconstruction]

That is something I do, for the sake of making the video simple I just used a pencil, what you describe is a great method

[@johnmorrissey1675]

👍👏☘️🇮🇪👋

[@MrDazthaman]

See what you mean about the brickwork being a touch ropey.

[@ukconstruction]

Proper ropey!!

[@rm9719]

​@@ukconstruction12:50 onwards. Terrible brickwork
