    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

    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.

      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

    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.

    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.

    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 TH-cam video on how to do it. There a a lot out there, but none of them clearly explained as yours.

    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.

    @petercoughlan103 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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👍

    • @mhole79
      @mhole79 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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 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!

      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 👍👍

    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?

    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?

    HI PETER
    I love your videos just looking at the scribing one and thought you might want to share with your viewers
    that when i fitted kitchens and bedrooms and it came to cutting the scribes i used a downcutter blade in the jigsaw which cuts as it says on the downward stroke which allowed you to use the jigsaw in the normal way and would be a bit safer to handle.
    keep them coming.

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Billy. I’ve used downcut blades myself, and I prefer the upside-down jigsaw method. I go into the pros and cons in the accompanying blog post (link in description) but in short; using the jigsaw upside down keeps the shoe (base) of the jigsaw off the finished (eg painted, stained, lacquered) infill, so is far less likely to cause damage. It pulls the workpiece into the base of the saw, instead of pushing it away. It keeps the cut-line clear, and clearly visible. It makes the workpiece easier *and safer* to hold, because you can see exactly where the blade is at all times.
      If you use a downcut blade, none of the above are true, and it's much safer to clamp the workpiece down when using one of these blades; given the narrowness of these workpieces, you can see how problematic that could be - you"d certainly be moving those clamps a lot even if you're scribing a relatively small infill.
      So, on balance my preference is for a regular blade in the jiggy, but held underneath the infill, as the action of the blade helps keep the workpiece steady, you can see clearly where the blade is, and you can support the work with your fingers well away from the blade, and underneath the work i.e. where the blade isn't. 👍👍

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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. 👍👍
