Brilliant. I came on here specifically to look at scribing tips as I need to do the bathroom wall as well. found your vid, first one i've watched and bingo. cutting cardboard with a jigsaw, now that's a genius move. every time i've tried it with a stanley kife it's come out rubbish. gonna give it a go. thanks Neil! Toastie Jack.
Bish bash bosh! Just got to make sure the surface you are striving onto has an even and flat level is all! Might be getting one of these, seems easier than the contour gauge we attempted to use for our headliner shelf for sure!
there not cheap for what they are but honestly this little bugger is spot on , iv had a few cheap one and they just fell appart , , omg that dam headliner shelf i still have nightmares about it
Perfect, going to help me no end. Just about to tackle putting storage units in my high top, which has very undulating edges, and couldn’t think of how to get round it. Many thanks dude 👍🏼😎
What a great segment , not everyone has knowledge on how to do this simple job ( I'm a chippy) but you and your assistant did a grand job in showing how you achieved the job, cheers
yer my dad was a joiner all his life and can do almost any thing so iv learnt so much off him , but there are loads of people out there that just aint got a clue with things like this and really struggle with simple things , mainly cos they dont know , so this one was for the didnt know peeps , thanks mate
@@UrbanVanlife fair play , and that's right that its just they've not been shown and that's why people use you tube looking for people like yourself and bejam , cheers
Just watched youre building the shower and kitchen vlogs . Brilliant work you two . A hadnt clicked like on most of the vlogs . So theyre awe sorted lol .glad u liked scotland . Cheers
Oh mate we love Scotland . We are up there at the end of the month for a week with another channel . Abs that should be a lot of fun . Hopefully there will be a halloween live stream
There are loads out there but this is the 3rd one we tried and it worked for us really well to be honest . And I know loads of ppl make there own but it works and you’ll use it for loads of projects . Thanks for watching mate
Hey guys, I found this video by accident! This is amazing. I also have a camper van like yours being conversion in China. Thanks for the video, it gave me a lot of inspiration！
As a carpenter and joiner of 25 years all you need to do is put a point @2x45 degrees on a piece of wood and drill a hole for your pencil, does the same job 👍
And as a joiner you would know this but not every ones a 25 year joiner mate . Plus I know plenty of joiners that have one cos they are allways at hand and they don’t need to make one over and over again . Plus they make joiners pencils when a pencil will do . It’s a case of each to there own and every thing has a purpose . Plus my dad is a life long carpenter and man how many hammers and saws do you guys need lol
@@UrbanVanlife I have several of them if I’m honest 😂 I have tools for tools, almost half a ton of tools that my van doesn’t like the weight of them one bit, my tools tools and van really don’t get on so I have put my tools in storage when they are not on site
thnkas mate , i kept getting asked how to do it so thought it needed a video , just a quick one and if it helped a few people then that was good , i think most people know but there will be a few that have no idea as well , thanks for watching buddy
@@UrbanVanlife thats the problem.. you run out of scrap wood or you spend ages looking for a bit to use 😅 This little tool is a great idea.. if i would of thought about it at the time I would have defo bought one 👊🏻👊🏻
such a simple device that helps with such a big issue. I may have to try and make a scribe of wood might be a nice little project 6:49 KITTY Oh and I think you where looking for Horizontal when you said straight out.. I have trouble with that to lol
yes yes yes horizontal lol i couldn't even think of the name of it , so just went with it , ans oh man iv made so many scribes and kept losing them and binning them not thinking , but yer i agree making one would be a cool video to be honest , and yer that was DAVE the cat making an appearance shes the fighter and hunter of our pack , and yes DAVE is a girl , we didnt know this until she had kittens lol but kept the name so it just stuck , and i think you need to make a posh wooden carved scribe ,
I’m gonna do a video on scribing, daunting if you have never done it before but if you’ve done it thousands of times you get quite good at it, no templates, no arsing around with fancy tools, just perfect scribes everytime 👍
I’ll look out for that one mate . And I can pass your expertise on to ppl. But I would imagine doing something for 25 years your going to get good at it . Some are good and humble towards the people that literally have never done it before . I’ll look out for the video I’d be interested to see how a pro dose it 👊🏽
@@UrbanVanlife I’m humble, I said daunting if you never done it before, if I’m honest I’ll never get round to putting a video up, however I have an interesting video on my WhatsApp on how to scribe an ellipse in a floor using a router, where can I send it, you’ll love this, some pro thinking all in a days work.
Hey dude. Just seen you on Darrel's stream. Noticeable accent lol I'm a st Helens creator craving someone to talk all things TH-cam lol everytime I talk analytics everyone's face just goes blank haha is there a social media platform to connect on?
If you grab me on Instagram mate I can direct you to a private discord for only serious creators . And yer man people do go all stupid once the word analitics gets mentioned . That’s my derral is great to talk to he knows his stuff inside out
This will work, but it looks like your wife/friend is scribing the cardboard that's already been curved. One frame it's square and the next it's rounded. But I get the point. Notes taken, thanks.
There are better tools with double wheels spread apart at 90° to the pen that enable a perfect scribe, it takes away the need to make sure you are holding it at the same angle all the way down.
it would be but then some people just dont know how to do it , i mean there are so so many little things you dont need to buy , but we do , and to be honest i was so annoyed with making one and losing it , i just bought one
there a great little tool , and yer you can make a scribe out of a bit of wood for free , but i just think cos its got the wheel on its just better and man its came in handy so so many times
mate its pissing me off so so much , im thinking about totaly moving over to the hero 8 , cos the cannon just isnt coping , alll i can say is dam cannon
I came to watch you struggle with a new tool. But, Noooo! It has to be all easy for ya... No cussing or throwing things! I'm completely disappointed!!! 😂
Hello Neil, I thoroughly enjoyed to video, thanks. Im one of the didnt know peeps to be honest I was wondering how to scribe my space over the cab area, like a false ceiling. I will be ordering a scribe. Neil on a different note, I watched your video last week, you talked about building a trailer for the shows, I've been trading at the shows for the last 3 years (None foods) have a look on this site it will give you some idea on venue charges and whether you go down food avenue or selling other products FESTIVAL TRADERS UK on facebook. Thanks for sharing your knowledge its much appreciated. Cheers Kevin
thanks mate that is going to be a great site for us , and the above cab is a night mare mate , but stick in there and youll get there , it drove me mad , but good stiff cardbord is the key to getting the shape spot on , and take your time and unlike me dont destroy things when you get angry every 4 min
@@UrbanVanlife Thanks for the tips mate. Neil you can also check the VW list there are 3-4-5 shows every week. You got to be carefull. log onto the venue or shows website and look at the list of companies selling Many VW show hosts have 3-4 companies selling same thing that's crap because it dilutes sale. If ya need any help please don't hesitate in asking, your videos are helping me, so if I can help you I will. Cheers Kevin www.vwshows.com/shows
Or save yourself £25 and use a simple school compass. Still have mine from my school pencil bag and I retired 5 years ago. This device is no simpler or accurate to use. Sorry but i have no idea why you would cut a piece of cardboard transfer that onto you board and then have to mark and cut off the piece overhanging at the front. Simply pin or use doublesided tape your board you are going to scribe and leave a consistent overhang at the front of say 30mm, set your compass to 30mm scribe the board cut to that line and you are finished.
@@UrbanVanlifeYou sarcasm is noted but I'd suggest a simple school compass isn't going to cost £25, or earn you your commission off Amazon. A compass is also way more accurate as the bearing on the tool you use offsets the scribed line by half the diameter of the bearing when you meet a sharp angle, it's fine only on a smooth curve. Try scribing a 25mm deep notch your tool just won't work.
It’s Emma here, I wasn’t being sarcastic in anyway shape or form, your comment could help someone as I stated and we didn’t keep our compasses from school, either of us, I do have a set of my dad’s from when he was an architect but I would never use them as they are a keep sake as he has passed away, and as for the tool it was what we used at the time and it worked for us, we aren’t woodworkers just two people doing our own thing and I wasn’t having a go at anyone, sorry if you thought I was but I wasn’t.

Very good video, but wouldn't be easier ( and cheaper) just to get a soda pop cap, drlll a hole into it center then use a pencil or marker to scribe?
it would be but then some people just dont know how to do it , i mean there are so so many little things you dont need to buy , but we do , and to be honest i was so annoyed with making one and losing it , i just bought one
A subscribe within a scribe !?!
