How to scribe skirting boards or base boards to an uneven floor

- Where my extension meets the old part of the house there is a hump in the floor. So trying to put skirting boards or baseboards around the walls is difficult and without scribing them to the floor there would be a big gap which would look awful. So in this video I show a quick and easy way to scribe skirting boards or baseboards to an uneven floor.

Video's are always bang on mate. Straight to the point and no faffing around. Keep up the good work.
Very kind of you to say so. Glad you're enjoying them. Hopefully lots more to come and maybe one day I'll do it full time 👍🏼
Fantastic step, i dont know everything so it really helps with learning these skills. Thank you
The king of skirting board fitting👍
Haha I don't know about king but my skirting videos do seem to be popular.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
That's a great tip better than my way. On uneven floors I scribe all the boards but some don't need it. Obviously to keep board's same hight all need cutting
It is a pain if all the boards need scribing.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
I wish I had thought to look this up 2 days ago! Doing it by eye with a small chisel and sandpaper is proving tricky. 😅
At least you'll know for next time.

Cheers mate, getting my house sorted little by little
You're very welcome. Good luck with the house 👍🏼
Nice video . But isnt the skirting board you just trimmed a different height from the 2 original ones that meet it?
No because I only cut the middle, the ends of the board are still the same width 👍🏼
That was a good video!! Nice presentation and to the point.
Great video! What about if the bump was a dip, I’d that makes sense? How would you sort that please as that would mean taking height off the ends and this would affect the join to the next board. I have this exactly problem I’m dealing with now 🙏🏼
You have to lay out all the boards in that run and scribe the same amount from all of them. Make sure all inside and outside corners are flush before you start marking the scribe.
Genius! What brand of small block plane is that? Any recommendations?
It is a Stanley block plane.
Here's an Amazon link for you

@@spendtimesavemoneydiy cheers mate! I’ve been looking at one of those, either the regular angle or the low angle like the one you linked, we’ll see! Cheers!
Good video mate, most people already have a compass and pencil and don't need an expensive scribing tool packed with levels and rulers etc..
Sometimes simple solutions are the best.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
So the mating parts at either side will have to be cut down in height also when matching them up??, grest video
Look again, I didn't take any material from either end only the middle so it will still match with the other pieces
Thanks for reply, if you would have had the bow in floor would you have to then ??@spendtimesavemoneydiy
Perfect!
Thank you 👍🏼
What about the other 2 boards that connect to your newly scribed board? By taking material off the bottom it seems like that piece would drop a bit or become shorter but the other 2 mitred pieces are still the same height.
If you notice I didn't take any material off either end of the piece so it will still be the same height as the other boards
Yes I noticed that but didn’t the whole piece dropped down a few millimeters?
@@paullapkowski4338 Paul, the left cut end connects to board on the left. The board on the left is full size. The left end of the scribed board is full size, so perfect fit. The same thing on the right. The drop you think about is by as much as the board would be too high if not scribed. What might confuse you is the fact that the left end fits the left board before scribing, but that's because the board is level with the old floor. To connect those 2 different levels, the board has to be sloping down to the new floor, so the top of the board is at an angle at the end, not level.
You must really understand what scribing is …. Then you’ll have all your answered covered because this video should be enough to explain everything
Won't there be a height mismatch when joining to the next board- at the external corners in this case and wont this follow through until the run ends- at a door, say?
No material (height) was removed from the ends of the board. So the height will remain the same for joining the next boards. This is why the wedges were installed on each end to remove material from the center of the board.
If he had just leveled off on one side and had the entire gap on one end of the board when he scribed, it would create the scenario you are talking about.
Joe was exactly right. I used the wedges so nothing was taken off the height either end of the boards.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
This was going to be my question, thank you for the informed answers!
Score it with a razor knife first and you'll avoid a lot of that tear-out.

Thank you 👍🏼
👍👍👍
Thank you 👍🏼
Cheers mate help me out bro 👍
But now they don't align with the two connections
Yes they do 👍
Ha! I feel like you're following me around my old house checking what my next job is! Funny how old houses on opposite sides of the world can have such similiar problems! Do you get vertigo looking down your hallway, too?? 🙂 I feel like you channel is keeping me honest and on track! Thanks.PP
I suppose jobs around the house are similar all around the world.
Glad you're enjoying them and hopefully they're helping you out 👍🏼
Question is why is the floor been left like that?
So many people giving bad comments about the floor, I simulated it for the video to demonstrate the scribe
