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.

That "what!" moment 😂

Been scribing all this time, and never thought of cutting the 45 degree, good tip.

Puts plywood to wall* "wut?!" Something I would do

I'm glad I'm not the only person who offers it up the wrong way around! Well done for not swearing! 45deg tip is awesome! Thank you.

These are my favorite kinds of vids. Short but beyond valuable.

That 45 degree cut is a great tip! Also the end in slow motion is cool!

The 45 degree cut prior is genius.

That "Ahhh what!?" Had me dead with laughter.

Using a scroll blade in your jig saw will help when making intricate cuts.

I've been a painting contractor here in South Florida going on 44 years and back in the day all carpenters did quality work like you do. It's nice to see that there are still skilled craftsman who care about quality. Keep up the good work.

When I first started doing carpentry  work I would get the 5:06 reaction. The only difference is that no matter what side I flipped the wood it just wouldn’t fit lol

And that is the reason I watch all of your videos.  I have scribed a thousand times like I was taught years ago but never had the insight to 45 the board first to make the cutting easier. Old dog has a new trick. Thank you sir.

And that kids, is the difference between "get it done" and "get it done right".

You’re a born teacher. Your chilled approach is so refreshing unlike so many over animated YouTubers these days :yawn:  Thanks so much 🙏 xox

Beautiful craftsmanship at work!

You were taught by someone—-and that someone was a very good master carpenter...now you are that as well.not just referring to this simple scribing video——I’ve been watching a bunch of your content and I’m always impressed with how well you have developed your craft.imagine how good you’ll be when your my age—I can tell you care about what you do and that translates exponentially into what your working on in an1000 ways—-wish there were more young men who took this as seriously as you do...👊🏻

Please watch to the end. LOL

That “What?” was classic! Panic haha

I so want to go get a piece of wood and try this RIGHT NOW!
