Robin, I am in the process of changing my career into carpentry/joinery. Its quite a scary thing to do becoming self employed at 37 with 2 kids when you've already got a stable job. What a learning curve! But I'm enjoying it. Can't keep up 2 jobs forever so will be making the leap this year! Thank you for making this video in particular. It has given me huge confidence that I need for my next pew projects! That said your whole channel is like having a chippie for a mate you can check in with. Keep these tips coming please! Stay well 👍🏼 Ste.
Thanks for another great video, Robin. I know this sounds a bit daft but, as a DIYer and as an engineer, I think scribing is an absolute genius thing. I'm sure carpenters regard it as just part of their routine, everyday work but I am always really impressed by the results (although less so when I try it myself 😄).
You make it look easy!! Any news from your client on the big build re talking about the project from their perspective, and costs involved etc? That'd be a really interesting video! Cheers
Great technique! I usually give myself another 1mm for play so the margins are consistent and to get some caulking in there. A good tip on long pieces of mdf is to ensure the architrave is dead straight before scribing, this sometimes requires pinning the casing in position to stabilize it first
Love these quick vids of your methods Robin. Your channel is a great treasure of ideas and passion and strong building practices. Hope you are having a terrific week.
Wish Id seen this earlier, just added the door jam and architrave round a large open plan area, its ok but not as good as I'd liked, the area of the steel was 14mm wider than the sides, obviously lost the difference down the wall when skimming, what I should have done was make all the surround the same size, then mitred the 2 side architraves to make them sit flush. Mistake I made was wanting to pin it all up, should have just temporary pinned then seen how it looked, also the open plan is not square so once the horizontal architrave is up the gap is not perfect all round, still its a lesson learnt.
We are all thinking of Gary and his family, and the collective efforts of our community is to be commended, it is so heartwarming to witness all the kindness and thought that is coming together from everyone!!
Hi Dan, basically yes... this slope is 45 degrees so to angled cuts of 22.5 degrees with give us the correct mitre, so a 50 degree roof as an example would a 25 degree cut and so on, thanks for watching too!!
Any tips for doing this with a very detailed architrave? I've tried this technique in the past and found it incredibly difficult with a victorian profile as its such an uneven material.
Amazing work you make that look so simple Robin. I need to put a shelf up that has a Dado rail that needs to be cut around, do you have a video like this at all?
Really can't endorse free hand cutting a potential curved scribe on a table saw.. if that had kicked back that stick of arch would have gone straight through those new glazed doors...
The saw blade would stop rather than spit it out, the saw is not like a mains voltage machine with a much stouter blade... that may catch and cause the work peice to move on you but these battery saw tables are much more forgiving and hugely safer
Brilliant. 👍 Can I ask what blade your using on your both your saws and how many teeth? Both my saws when I use them throw dust/chips in my face even when using dust extraction, very annoying.
Hi Rich, I tend to stick to blades that have no more than 40 teeth as they are generally a good finish and suitable for many different tasks and materials, it is horrible when the saw dust is fired at us!! I tend to try to keep the blade depth set at just above the material that I am ripping etc and this keeps the dust down a fair bit, thanks for your comment mate
@@ukconstruction I watched it twice, and didnt see you do anything, that I havent done, or watched other carpenters do over the last 20 years.... 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@ukconstruction off the subject of saw saftey...is there 2 or 3 carpenter books written by UK builders you could recommend? Your channel, skill builder and New Zealand channel has my curiosity to learn the terms and ways of different carpentry/building methods from the states
Hi Robin Just used. Gapo tape. What a brilliant product it turned out to be. Thanks for the tutorials on your channel. Saved time and money. And saved lots of celotex in my eyes. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

@@sanken4999 yeah, I need to practice a few mock ups I think. To get my head round it. The last thing you wanna do is cut too much off a piece that potentially can't be replaced easily,
Great video robin 👍🏻.. I always pin some scrap material to the floor .. draw my margin down the frame . Then sit the back edge of my backmould down my qwerk (margin) and temporary pin it top and bottom and use the same thickness material to do the scribe

Cuts at 22.5 Dgs is ok if the roof angle is 45 dgs if it’s not . Work it out yourself
Did you measure the internal angles on the
Rafter side and divide by 2 or, as you said (pitch 45) 135/2

How does the Milawaukee table saw compare to a dewalt?
Im looking to get one and a top end mitre saw.
Great content as usual
Very dangerous crossing the blade with your arm on the mitresaw.
Easy, when you know how - 👍👍

@@ukconstruction My concern is other people may not understand that.. Ask me how I know about the windows😃
Dunno what it is about scribing Robin, but it gives me a chubby.
🤣
I turn my arch over and draw down the jamb. Then just add the extra to suit your set back and cut.
Much prefer a 5mm quirk
Hi Robin how do you find the Milwaukee Pinner. Got a trusty paslode. do not like the dewalt Pinner just thought I’d ask..
The milwaukee 18g pin gun is a great tool, never misses a beat!! And it is super light but has all the power it needs too!!
nice one robin. never thought of doing that sort of architrave that way before.
Brilliant. 👍

Hi Robin, Thanks for the video,
Keep up the good work. Do you use a 16 or 18 gauge nailer for finish/trim fixing? Cheers
Hi mate, I tend to use 18 gauge for most second fix/finish work these days, thanks for your message mate

I understand this technique now, but what about if the right hand piece is much wider than what it was there?
I'm relating to wardrobe fill pieces for the sides( fitted wardrobes), or kitchen filler pieces.
Im guessing you would cut it down to the full width first to then use this method
@@sanken4999 yeah, I need to practice a few mock ups I think. To get my head round it.
The last thing you wanna do is cut too much off a piece that potentially can't be replaced easily,
surely you'd just use a wider block / plank and use the same principles with an increased offset?
whats your thoughts on milwaukee tools? how are they holding up?
Hi Alex, I am enjoying the Milwaukee tools they are good and not too expensive either!!! they take everything I have thrown at them!!
Brilliant stuff, love your videos. Thanks
Glad you like them!
Perfection as always
great video

Is MDF trim common in England ?
It is hugely common now, I would guess 75 percent of the trim market here!!

Does anyone know what blade is on the chop saw ?
Hi Mate, This is a blade by dart here is an example amzn.to/3B05001
