I learned of ticking sticks from Leah of See Jane Drill. But I didn't think it would work on furniture making. This is great. Just goes to show you that you can teach an old dog new tricks.
A ticking stick is not generally used on a door with four straight edges, there are easier ways to get a good fit. A ticking stick excels when pieces are of an odd shape and/or are in an awkward position to make accurate measurements difficult.
Tick sticks have their place but this isn't one of them. Just trace the inside of the frame onto the piece you want to fit and you're done. Tick sticks were invented for boat building.
This example is cracking a walnut with a sledgehammer, there are much quicker ways to fit doors to frames that have straight edges to them. This technique is only really worth it for tricky shapes as in boat building.
No they realise the example doesnt apply and therefore the concept is spoiled, because a more difficult example should of been used. Example: the contours of a bulkhead, as opposed to a much more complicated method when drawing round the frame was sufficient.
Usually I would just lay a strip of luan along each side and hot glue them together and Voila’ you have your template, If you need to to do any scribing just do it before attaching the strips together.
Something like that, use tape rule & set square, or just mark it directly onto the panel. (How much time do you have available??) Ticking sticks are used for irregular shapes.
No more than a different method of scribing. Must be American, everything they do us over the top. I'm surprised they didnt use 2x4. They do for everything else!
Slow and stupid. Tape door gap strips (usually 1/16" +) in place. Then cut 4 plywood pcs. 1/4 x 2" x opening size. Then cut and sand to fit top and bottom "rails". Then cut left and right "stile" pieces 1" shorter than opening, lay on top of rail pieces butted to door gap strips and nail in place using a T-50 wide crown stapler and 3/8" staples. Then lift template out of opening and transfer to respective door or drawer front. Same technique can be used on irregular openings, using short sections to follow radius walls, and irregular countertops. Ticking strips are pre-nailgun era. In lieu of nailgun, hotmelt glue.

EXACTLY.
Got it,,,,
It's fine to use the tick sticks for carpentry when you can't trace the piece. But in this case it's the wrong tool for the job.
That’s what I thought too, but if you’re fitting the door to a frame that is already installed, I could see it being a good idea.
@@mechanicalman1068 then you just take the door off

If the frame is made out of straight pieces, but out of square, I can't see any reason to make more than four marks - one for each corner.
and totally skip the part where you actually CUT the peice and show the results of your efforts.......jeesum
Are you from Louisiana or near by? The only people I've heard use "jeesum" are from there.
Smart technique. Some people in the comments confuse the concept with the example.

Can you use tick stick to go around a round object EXSP. Tile around a round concrete column
You wouldn’t just lay face frame over door draw around and hey presto ! It’s the exact shape !

A bit sucky since you didn't show the results of the fit :(
This is a poor example of WHY to use a tick stick.An irregular shape on the floor would have been better.
I would just use the frame to trace a pattern on the door. Poor example of using a ticking stick.
Tick sticks are not for cabinet door application ,,,,, unless you are following your childrens "new math" books that are being taught.
Beautiful video.
Great video and talk through, thank you.
I suggest your bench is far too low for comfortable working
OK I’m not the stupidest person in the room, but I didn’t understand that process at all.
or just trace the inside of the face frame onto a piece of ply. life is short.
This is a bad example of the effectiveness of tick sticking
Pretty uncomplicated shape and location for tick sticking. Kind of a waste of time.
Always get a lot out of your presentations...cheers...rr Normandy, FRA.

We're not all hacks and idiots Sir . But I get where you're coming from 😔
Did it work?
Did not show if it worked. Don't waste your time watching.
You would never earn a living doing it that way. What is wrong with one edge reference to one side and work from there?
This guy looks like Michael carbonero
it's his older brother. carbonero isn't his real last name...it's his stage name, don't ask me, its a hollywood thang.
in the future use a tripod please i couldnt handle the sea sickness

Buy a tripod and a mic please
Slow , tedious and unnecessary !
