HandyDan Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I saw this before. His fit wasn't the greatest. I think it could be with a little more effort and thinner lines. FlGatorwood and Gunny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmealy Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Chris Schwarz did a similar YouTube a few years ago. I think it is most appropriate for areas that you cannot get into and trace. In the above example, you could just stick a piece of paper or cardboard under the cut-out and trace (or cut) it out. There's a similar technique for cutting tile to go against a wall. Just lay the piece down on the adjacent piece and trace the profile out by putting an uncut piece on top of it.

FlGatorwood Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Very interesting idea. I have got to try this sometime, soon. Thanks, Gene. Gunny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principle is sound think execution was poor. Edited November 21, 2019 by Pat Meeuwissen HandyDan and Gene Howe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted November 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 You're right, Pat. There are a couple other YouTube videos where a better fit is demonstrated. Seems that the best use is in ship building, fitting odd shaped dry wall and, flooring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckSoup Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 I think a finish nail slightly protruding from the bottom would be more accurate instead of the point on the stick. It would leave the stick flat while tracing and act as an awl when transferring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
