    The 45 cut is a fantastic tip. A couple things you might have mentioned is that you should make sure your board is perfectly level before you start scribing, not all walls are plum so you could end up with a great scribe with a sloped board. Also to measure the largest gap with your scribe first and set it slightly larger to that size.

    The 45° cut beforehand is a Great idea. I've been welding, fabricating, and woodworking for over 40+ years and I've gone through so many protractors over the years. It should be in every tool box. I still have my very first one that is made in the USA. Great video.

    • @athhud
      @athhud Před 5 lety +1

      The miter cut also ensures that the only material touching the brick is the surface that you cut. Just because you got one side scribed and cut perfectly doesn’t mean the piece will mate up cleanly if the back side of a full thickness piece interferes with inconsistencies in the brick or mortar. 2 excellent benefits to this method.

  • @ednagale
    @ednagale Před 5 lety +1

    Great video, Richard. For people who haven't used a compass to scribe, make sure you use a compass that has a screw adjustment. If you buy a cheap one that uses an arc slide to adjust the opening, you are far more likely to not get a precise cut because the opening will vary depending on how much you squeeze the two sides. If you just want to make some circles, the cheap kind is fine. If you want precision, get the compass with an adjustable screw.

    Nice work. I appreciate the attention to detail. Hard to find these days. Most contractors wouldn't take the time to fit it to the contours of the brick.

    @Hearthman1159 Před 5 lety +6

    Great stuff as usual Richard but one tip I might have missed. The board must be held plumb so the lid will be level. This may require a temporary shim at the bottom gap to the wall, tack it to the frame with brads or quick clamps. Also, not that what you take off on that side will affect the reveal on the opposite end.
    When scribing mantel scribe molding (5,000 +) I evened the reveals, tacked it with brads, scribed it to the widest gap then it fit like a glove with an even reveal all the way around. I'm about to buy a DW 20VDC jigsaw and was curious if you've experimented with the Collins Coping Foot on them. Keep up the great stuff. Love the way you notched your hanging framing btw.

    @stevemcginn9200 Před 5 lety +1

    Richard, a hint from one trim guy to another....always cut your scribe line with a 10 degree backcut on the jigsaw, with the scroll on the blade set to zero. If the brick has an irregular surface it will hold the piece away on the high spots. With that additional angle it makes the outside point that you just traced touch the wall/brick first. Resulting in an even tighter transition between the 2 surfaces. Think of it as a shallow cope on a corner with wide baseboard.
