As a cabinetmaker and carpenter for over 40 years, ....Id like to say, you continuously give excellent sound and professional advice! I'm a big fan of your channel and thanks Leah!!!

This is such a good video, it reminds me of old YouTube when it was mainly people sharing their skills and talents with the world. I'm glad the essence is still there, I think I'm going to learn a lot from your videos.

I love your videos because you 1) show exactly what you're doing. 2) explain it so beautifully and 3) don't rush through the explanation. thank you!

When I need to learn a new technique I do a YouTube search and when I find See Jane Drill coming up I breathe a sigh of relief. I know I’m going to get the proper answer.
Love this lady ; brilliant explanations and super skills.

Leah, whenever I have a question about a project I am working on, I invariably find my way to your channel to see your excellent tutorials. Thanks for your hard work in making these videos and sharing your knowledge.

I am 67 and 1st time seein scribing done properly. Good on ya, Leah !!

You are by far the best training videos. I have watched more then a dozen to learn how to scribe. None of them showed the actual scribbing process. They jumped right over it . Went on to show putting the counter top in.
Your videos have popped up when I am searching The How Tos on past home repairs.Every single time, you explain and show how to do it better then anyone else. Your A Godsend. Please keep sharing your knowledge.

Nice video. Try a razor knife to cut the top surface on the line before using the saw, eliminate the tear out

I've been in the building trade 45 years and the best chippy / carpenter I've worked with was a woman ( A single mum ) I found this channel by accident but love it, I'm going to subscribe and watch every video you have made, Thanks for sharing your talent ..

[jackmills]

You are such an awesome person. Your character really shines through, not to mention the knowledge you dish out. Very positive and upbeat attitude is a bonus when your teaching helps a lot! Thank you

Thank you! I have been doing this the hard way (wrong way) for years. I'm glad I stumbled upon your video!

You are an EXCELLENT teacher. You show us exactly how to do something and communicate and explain it so well. Thank you. 🙏

[Epulor]

You have such a knack for putting things that seem complex very simply and showing us how easy they are to do. Thank you.

[SommerWildes]

Oh my gosh! I have been so confused about how to do this. I need to make a countertop for a small pantry and have been putting it off because I just found too many complicated tutorials. Then the clouds parted and the light shown on this video! Thank you I feel like I can totally handle this now and I don't need to build all these framed contraptions! Halleluja!

[Ipherix]

About to put a floor in a van and had no idea how to get around all those odd shapes and protrusions from wheel wells and such. This is so helpful! It makes so much sense!

[jeffkeef]

Great! I've mastered this now! Great Tutorial! You did not just explain the scribe but the good practice of cutting within the mark. Thank you Leah! God Bless ya!
