As I’m about to do my laundry room cabinets… scribing the filler strips is the thing that seems the most intimidating. You do a great job of explaining things and making it easy to follow.
thank you for the video! ive watched all the uscribe videos and several other filler strip tutorials... this was by far the most detailed and i was actually able to understand the process.
Well explained for the novices. But if it's only 1mm out, I would've just cut a straight filler on the table saw, back bevel it 15 degrees, and popped it in place. Interestingly, I never heard of the Uscribe jig until a few weeks ago, and then I went out to my CNC and made my own, out of a PVC trim board :)
you are a genius with the bevel on the filler strip. i'm a relatively new diyer so will be trying this with ikea cabinets to scribe it to a wall. wish me luck
@@bentswoodworking I was of the same opinion until I upgraded my laptop. I can understand them being large files, but I will say that having a laptop with 17" built-in 4K-HDR, I can immediately notice the difference between 1080p (and lower) and higher resolutions.
Can someone explain the backer piece a bit more? I understand it's to keep the filler strip flush, but how do you make / install the backer piece? Is it at cabinet assembly?
That is most definitely the most complicated way I’ve ever seen to install a filler strip on a new cabinet. In my experience filler strips are installed before the base and the countertop, which eliminates several obstacles encountered along the way. Depending on your available space, scribe molding eliminates the need to have a 100% perfect fit against a wall that 9 times out of ten isn’t square to begin with. I do understand your methodology used under the circumstances though. 👍🏻
Michael, sometimes homeowners install cabinets, and then can't figure out how to finish things off. At least that's my experience. So then they hire others to do the tricky work.
Well explained for novice, but in this case I don't see any point of doing it on a bandsaw for 1mm in difference. Another thing I don't understand is why do you left it behind the door level? I prefer making them on the level of the door, since it stays like a finished product, not like a mistake.
Excellent. But I am confused - or dumb. Hoe does it not matter whether you make the filler exactly the minimum width? If the minimum width is 41 and you make it 39 will there not be a 2mm gap?
Give the guy a break. He did a great job showing one way to do this task. Modify his technique to suit your particular situation, skills, and available tools. Green tape is Frog Tape - not Festool. Because Frog Tape is designed to seal against latex paint "leak" I assume he used it because that's what he had on hand.
So if you built the vanity, why would you not include a built in scribe on the cabinet. Easier, no problem installing, no problem marking, and most importantly no fingers close to blades.
I agree with you. I could have put in 5 fillers in the time it took to do this. Don't mean to rain on anyones parade but you are making something that is so simple to do way to complicated
Another tip from someone who has retired after over 40 years building custom cabinetry....your filler space is way too small. Should be a minimum of 1/2" to 3/4" and the filler should be installed before you butt it to the wall. A measurement for the filler can be taken when you dry fit the cabinet to the wall. I have installed 1000's of filler like this. FYI
I'm a tech for a cabinet co. and we have to put filler strips in after cabinets were installed for whatever reason. How would you go about doing this if this were the case?

Thank you!!! I saw like a thousand videos and I didn't get it, I got it now.
This is probably one of the best scribe videos on TH-cam
Glad you found it helpful
Made that look really simple. Thanks for the straightforward explanation. Yes found it very useful. Thank you.
Like a glove! Very helpful information, thank you!

We can chat more about it Thursday. :)
@@bentswoodworking don’t let me forget to ask you about it. Lol

This is actually really clean. Definitely going to try this one out, thanks !
You’re welcome
Thanks John. I. Going to apply your good advice in my kitchen.

Looks good. Great work. Keep teaching.
Great work & tip once again, cheers John
Glad you found it helpful
Love this! Such practical knowledge for DIYer’s like me.
Glad you found it helpful
Love it man! I’ll take all the tips you throw at me!
Glad you found it helpful
Thank you, I was stump on a filler piece with different widths
Glad you found it helpful
Great technique, and very simple to do when the cabinet is already installed!. I keep wishing your videos were 4K so we could see more detail!
4K files are too big and it isn’t a noticeable difference in my opinion unless on a very large screen
@@bentswoodworking I was of the same opinion until I upgraded my laptop.
I can understand them being large files, but I will say that having a laptop with 17" built-in 4K-HDR, I can immediately notice the difference between 1080p (and lower) and higher resolutions.
Nice work. The only thing I would have done differently, is to use a plane vs the spindle sander.
Great Video!
Thanks
I was wanted to say .. thank you for using metric measurements!!
Lovely job!
Really helpful, thanks
You’re welcome
Great tips! Thanks.
You’re welcome
You know it was a perfect fit when the paint didn't get ripped off the wall when you tapped in the filler strip lol great video 👍🏻
Thanks
Thanks for the share. Great advice.
Glad you found it helpful

Have you got a video for scribing the end panel

Typically I would do it beforehand. However, because I wanted to do it after the fact, it wasn’t possible
Michael, sometimes homeowners install cabinets, and then can't figure out how to finish things off. At least that's my experience.
So then they hire others to do the tricky work.
I didn't understand the spacer block, and your hand was blocking the view when you were using it.
Could you use the jointer to finish the edge instead of the spindle sander?
If it was a straight line I suppose you could
Does the U-Scribejig only work on frameless cabinets?
I’m sure you could adapt it other ways but primarily yes
Well explained for novice, but in this case I don't see any point of doing it on a bandsaw for 1mm in difference. Another thing I don't understand is why do you left it behind the door level? I prefer making them on the level of the door, since it stays like a finished product, not like a mistake.
awesome now I just need $5000 in power tools.
I cut like 10 to 15 filler strips at one time.
What if the wall unit is not really straight?
Excellent. But I am confused - or dumb. Hoe does it not matter whether you make the filler exactly the minimum width? If the minimum width is 41 and you make it 39 will there not be a 2mm gap?
That’s the reason for using the scrap piece. It accounts for the thickness of the side
Got it. There is obviously a minimum width to start off with which is the width of the scrap plus the maximum gap. Thanks again.
Give the guy a break. He did a great job showing one way to do this task. Modify his technique to suit your particular situation, skills, and available tools.

I need three done can you come over do it for me
Talk about over complicating a simple task.
On the job site that wouldn’t be the go-to method.
Couldn't actually see how you held the pencil and piece of wood.
Why not just cut your filler at a straight angle and adjust your door the 1/16. It will save you 20 mins.
So if you built the vanity, why would you not include a built in scribe on the cabinet. Easier, no problem installing, no problem marking, and most importantly no fingers close to blades.
Don't tell me that's Festool masking tape! I'm assuming he charges by the minute to afford those tools.
A sharp block plane and pencil is all you need. I lost track of the number of tools you used. Way too complex!
I agree with you. I could have put in 5 fillers in the time it took to do this. Don't mean to rain on anyones parade but you are making something that is so simple to do way to complicated
Couldn't even see what he was doing
you lost me @ 7:03 lol

If I did all this for a filler strip, I would be fired. It's a 5 minutes max job.
Working for a bigtime, high capacity outfit there chief? Got your company branded golf shirts on?
This is such an overly complex explanation
Good way to milk the job infront of home owner
