This is probably one of the best scribe videos on YouTube

As I’m about to do my laundry room cabinets… scribing the filler strips is the thing that seems the most intimidating. You do a great job of explaining things and making it easy to follow.

[dustintravis]

Like a glove! Very helpful information, thank you!

[seanmcauley]

Made that look really simple. Thanks for the straightforward explanation. Yes found it very useful. Thank you.

[Pablosdiyprojects]

Thanks John. I. Going to apply your good advice in my kitchen.

[jaredaiono]

thank you for the video! ive watched all the uscribe videos and several other filler strip tutorials... this was by far the most detailed and i was actually able to understand the process.

[acerjuglans]

Well explained for the novices.
But if it's only 1mm out, I would've just cut a straight filler on the table saw, back bevel it 15 degrees, and popped it in place.
Interestingly, I never heard of the Uscribe jig until a few weeks ago, and then I went out to my CNC and made my own, out of a PVC trim board :)

[TheXenogias]

you are a genius with the bevel on the filler strip. i'm a relatively new diyer so will be trying this with ikea cabinets to scribe it to a wall. wish me luck

[alejandroochoa]

This is actually really clean. Definitely going to try this one out, thanks !

[Mao]

[johnisley]

Great work & tip once again, cheers John

[handymadness]

Love this! Such practical knowledge for DIYer’s like me.

[stevedomenech]

Thank you, I was stump on a filler piece with different widths

[joshuahasson]

Love it man! I’ll take all the tips you throw at me!

[Mike-dybq]

Nice work. The only thing I would have done differently, is to use a plane vs the spindle sander.

[AlAmantea]

Great technique, and very simple to do when the cabinet is already installed!. I keep wishing your videos were 4K so we could see more detail!

[markolsen]

I was wanted to say .. thank you for using metric measurements!!

[novapball]

Can someone explain the backer piece a bit more? I understand it's to keep the filler strip flush, but how do you make / install the backer piece? Is it at cabinet assembly?

[Bull_sheet_Bob]

Have you got a video for scribing the end panel

[Michael-kfbc]

That is most definitely the most complicated way I’ve ever seen to install a filler strip on a new cabinet. In my experience filler strips are installed before the base and the countertop, which eliminates several obstacles encountered along the way. Depending on your available space, scribe molding eliminates the need to have a 100% perfect fit against a wall that 9 times out of ten isn’t square to begin with. I do understand your methodology used under the circumstances though. 👍🏻
