    I would really encourage you to check out the razor scribe. It does everything these two tools do in a more easy and efficient way. The scribe relates to the wall closer than the long body of the scribe you are using. It has one version with a beautiful little razor point and one with an excellent pen point. It is also magnetic and can be used as a stud finder.

    the trend easy scribe was actually designed and made here in Newry, N. Ireland by a carpenter, it was on sale for about a year here locally before Trend must have bought him out.

    Hi, nice video. Could you use the Trend scribe for both? Also in relation to the top- if you scribe both the end and along the back wouldn’t that give you a false reading? Should you not scribe and cut say the end first and fit that to the wall and then scribe the back wall?

    • @AndyMcGeever
      @AndyMcGeever Před 5 lety +1

      Yep. You need to scribe the end that doesn't move laterally first. Unless of course it's square which in this case it probably was.

    • @InsiderCarpentry
      @InsiderCarpentry  Před 6 lety +4

      The fastest and most accurate way for me to scribe between two walls is to use the collins tread gauges. I use the tread jig to get the template and then transfer it to the workpiece with a utility knife.

    Great video, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. I follow your IG account too and really enjoy the content you put out. Maybe a basic question, but what are you using to cut these scribe lines? Jig saw to get it close and then belt sander to sneak up on the line? Something else?

    • @InsiderCarpentry
      @InsiderCarpentry  Před 6 lety +11

      On the plywood I got close with a track saw set at 15 degree bevel. Then I get close with the Festool Ras sander. On the stiles I got close with a jigsaw and finished up with a small block plane (nielson 102)

      I like to cut backwards with a skill saw as close as possible and will a steep bevel then finish with a belt sander. Zero gaps. Can also use a jig saw then finish with a belt sander.

  • @stevenfoust3782
    @stevenfoust3782 Před 3 lety

    Your scribing method seems pretty good although I always just set my piece where it needs to be and use a small block of the proper thickness in relation to the widest gap along with a pencil gives me a perfect scribe with no extra tools to haul around.

    • @InsiderCarpentry
      @InsiderCarpentry  Před 3 lety +2

      With the easy scribe you don't have to go hunting for a wood block every time you want to scribe something. That's a huge waste of time. With the amount of scribing I do, it makes sense to carry with me.

      I can't remember what they're called. The legs are angled so that as you tap them in they pull the two pieces together.
      But check out the U-Scribe Jig for holding your scribe piece in place while you mark. Works a treat.

    I just got the easy scribe. Seems like a solid tool so far but that little lead holder is straight trash. For 40$ you would think they could have came up with a better idea than that. I kept dropping all those tiny little pieces trying to put the lead in it and almost lost one piece. Definitely not for old people like me with arthritis and bad eyesight lol. Even getting to the lead to feed it out is a huge pain. Had to find a screw that could get back in there to pull it forward. Don't know if I'm just doing it wrong since there's no instructions anywhere for it.
